  1. Much Ado About Nothing
    This tiny friends-and-family production has the vibe of a project done on weekends and after school. That’s no knock. It is vibrant and bubbly and just clever enough to engage people who wouldn’t normally watch a black-and-white micro-budget Shakespeare adaptation without any big movie stars.
  2. Tracks
    While hardly insightful as a character study, Tracks can’t help but flourish as an Aussie travelogue, with cinematographer Mandy Walker doing justice to these vast and harsh environments.
  3. Magnolia
    What leaves you breathless, though, is the knockout acting by the cast.
  4. Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.
    Morris seduces us into stepping into Leuchter's world of delusion and ego.
  5. Ça commence aujourd'hui
    A terrific piece of neo-realistic filmmaking.

  6. Ratcatcher
    The bleakness of the material ought to make Ratcatcher a depressing experience, yet Ramsay's power as an image-crafter transforms this grim universe.

  7. The Virgin Suicides
    Subtle, strange, off-putting, fascinating.

    Wetlands
    Juri’s performance makes it impossible to divert your eyes from the screen, no matter how much you might want to, and a brave film that eventually succumbs to convention is still braver than most.
  9. Our Song
    The most faithful cinematic depiction of adolescence in recent memory.

  10. Pollock
    Irrespective of whether Pollock, as a movie, is any good -- and it is very, very good -- it's clear that Ed Harris was born to play the lead role.
  11. Dallas Buyers Club
    It’s all about the performances. McConaughey and Leto don’t just give voice to the disenfranchised of the 1980s, but all people suddenly faced with impossible challenges.
  12. Humanité
    Audiences willing to wade knee deep in the muck and mire of the human abyss are advised to seek out Humanité at the local arthouse.
  13. Ulee's Gold
    A very pleasant experience in watching life unfold in its own direction and time.

  14. Caesar Must Die
    At 76 minutes, Caesar Must Die is more of an art piece than a thick steak of a feature film, but it maintains a fascinating hum from start to finish.
  15. Jerry Maguire
    The engine that drives Jerry Maguire is Cruise, giving the kind of performance that all but deconstructs his recent series of glib leading-man roles.

  16. Calvary
    The film has much more talking than acting, so McDonagh is wise to give it all the zest he can muster... But McDonagh, for all his agility as a writer, stumbles in fleshing out the story.
  17. A Touch of Sin
    Part of what’s so invigorating about A Touch of Sin is its refusal to betray the depth of its intellectual ambition, deferring when needed to generic convention and relishing the entertainment which follows.
  18. Shanghai Noon
    Lets Jackie Chan have some fun, ride a horse and frolic in the American West. And when Jackie's having fun, at least some of it trickles down to us.
  19. Philomena
    Philomena honors its namesake by valuing potent understatement over potential hysterics.
  20. The Immigrant
    Its final scenes and sublimely framed last, lingering shot are extraordinary.
  21. How to Train Your Dragon 2
    What's unfortunate is that Toothless is starring in a toothless story.
  22. Rosetta
    This kind of film, in its various manifestations recurring through the decades, gives us confidence that cinema can ultimately get to the heart of things.
  23. Like Someone in Love
    A glimpse into how three different definitions of love can find themselves quietly at odds, the interactions between our three leads are always convincing if not always compelling.
  24. Something in the Air
    It proves that the screen is the place where a memory can be reborn.
  25. Guardians of the Galaxy
    [A] blend of classic sci-fi fare and current pop-culture irony is what rockets “Guardians” into the stratosphere.
  26. Lore
    Lore is a rare, wonderful film that works not just as surface entertainment, but has deeper historical meaning, as well as an even grander, more universal statement.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Jesus' Son
    Has the edge of black comedy that defines Maclean's sensibility, but it also has a mature new sweetness. And it's certainly one of the best films about the life of an addict since "Drugstore Cowboy."
  28. Grosse Pointe Blank
    Armitage, Cusack and his Evanston chums have their work cut out for them to turn a stone killer into a sympathetic romantic character. That they succeed in such a shrewdly funny way is downright amazing.

  29. The Lunchbox
    This long-distance love story is comfort food in any language, perfectly agreeable and unlikely to surprise.
  30. Chuck & Buck
    One of the best films of the year. Queer in every sense of the word, it's poignant, laugh-out-loud funny and thoroughly provocative.
