    Frankenstein
    Whale’s direction nods to German Expressionism — the Escher-like dimensions of Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory, the off-kilter camera angles, the long-armed shadows that extend over characters’ faces. Yet something softer anchors the film: sorrow.

    Distance
    There are a succession of physically arresting images, though the movie is frustratingly opaque, too emotionally diffuse to capture a necessary nuance and depth of expression. In never quite finding a vital rhythm or shape, Distance is a work more easily admired than genuinely appreciated.
  3. Check It
    Check It is a powerful and electrifying film, full of characters who exude wisdom, authenticity, and bravado. Their lives beg telling, but this is only half the story.
  4. I Love You, Daddy
    As a whole, I Love You, Daddy belongs to C.K.’s own peculiar aesthetic, in that it’s brilliantly calibrated to captivate viewers and make them recoil at the same time.
  5. Mektoub, My Love: Canto Uno
    “Mektoub, My Love” is never about anything more than its own style.
  6. August Winds (Ventos de Agosto)
    Ventos de Agosto presents such an extraordinary portrait of rural life that its textures often overwhelm the narrative.
  7. Eva
    For a film with so few secrets of its own to hide, Eva also offers little to see on the surface.
  8. Utoya: July 22
    The film has the power to make our bodies catch up with our hearts — the power to help us safely experience the kind of terror we need to remember in a way that makes it impossible for us to forget.
