  1. The Wolfpack
    There is a train-wreck quality to this film. The story is so astounding, you can’t look away. But as a documentary, there are so many questions both unasked and unanswered that it feels more like reality TV, mostly about the spectacle.
  2. Little Children
    Built from a perfect story-telling collaboration.
  3. Rich Hill
    Inside these average American lives are futures far too often passed over or, worse, written off. This terrific film gives the teenagers their due.
  4. Dark Days
    Remarkable first film.
  5. Captain America: Civil War
    Sometimes, more is less. Although it’s called Captain America: Civil War, the latest Marvel movie is actually a supersized “Avengers” picture -- overstuffed to bursting.
  6. Middle of Nowhere
    At heart, Middle of Nowhere offers material we've seen many times before. But between her perceptive direction and Corinealdi's layered performance, this modest, micro-budgeted story has been beautifully packaged.
  7. Harry Is Here to Help
    Moll clearly has looked to Hitchcock and Clouzot for inspiration. There are sexual undercurrents between characters, psychological quirks and a murky veneer like the surface of the pool in "Diabolique."
  8. Startup.com
    Some of the simplest shots give you the full picture of the price these guys paid for their dreams.
  9. Liberty Heights
    Levinson is so skillful at developing personalities, even among the story's would-be villains, that by the halfway point of the movie, every gesture and expression has unexpected depth and texture. The performances are across-the-board superb.
  10. The Full Monty
    Simple, joyful and downright innocent movie.
  11. Roger Dodger
    The result is a long night of confrontations that feel heavily rehearsed and unlikely. There are some good moments, but I didn't believe any of this.
  12. The Kid Stays in the Picture
    The best part is during the closing credits. Dustin Hoffman does a brilliant, dead-on impression of Evans that captures the essence of the man more than all the self-serving grandiosity that preceded it.
  13. Kitchen Stories
    Features an absurdist sensibility that ultimately melts your heart. It's certainly one of the stranger movies you'll see.
  14. The Deserted Station
    Gentle and understated (if somewhat creepy).
  15. The Square
    Digs up familiar ground without adding any fresh dirt.
  16. Les amitiés maléfiques
    If, unlike his friends, you don't take anything Andre says seriously, there is a wicked sense of fun about it, and you may even see a little of yourself in one of the characters.
  17. Catch Me If You Can
    A pleasant romp through the land of Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction.
  18. X-Men: Days of Future Past
    The movie sometimes has the feel of an Olympic sprinter running in place. There’s so much energy expended to get to one spot. Constant searches beget more searches. It all gets exhausting.
  19. Treeless Mountain
    Both lovely and wrenching, So Yong Kim's intimate drama feels so honest, it's often difficult to watch.

    The LEGO Batman Movie
    This version feels a lot less like a long advertisement for Lego products than the original, which featured multiple "here's how to build something cool" segments. And "LEGO Batman" uses pop culture better than the original.
  21. A Prairie Home Companion
    People unfamiliar with either man may think Altman is mocking Keillor and his 32-year-old radio program here. But, it is pure affection, and the movie is as much up-tempo, irresistible fun to watch as the show is to hear.
  22. Must Read After My Death
    Intensely compelling documentary.
  23. Baadasssss!
    Both public tribute and private therapy session, Baadasssss! should have been a self-conscious disaster. By confronting his past with wit and style, Van Peebles has instead created a meta-cool history lesson and homage.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Trainwreck
    Trainwreck is rarely as laugh-out-loud funny as early Apatow or “Inside Amy Schumer,” but it is consistently amusing and constantly engaging.
  25. The Specialist
    The Specialist allows Eichmann to convict himself, not of complicity in the Holocaust -- to that he pleads guilty, by reason of nationalism -- but as a man unfazed by his own inhumanity.
  26. About a Boy
    A comedy hit, but its secret is that it delves deeper than the usual summer fare.
    • New York Daily News
  27. The Believer
    Gosling's performance is a stunner, although the story-telling is otherwise pedestrian. It is the movie's blessing and curse that it does not shy away from Danny's murderous, inexplicable contradictions — or explain them.
  28. In This World
    Winterbottom informs us that, though fictional, his story represents thousands of real lives, and there is a hardly a false note, which makes this both a difficult and exceedingly memorable film to watch.
  29. Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst
    Uses social and historical perspective to explain what happened then and, perhaps inadvertently, what's happening now.
  30. The Jaundiced Eye
    Both frustrating and instructive.
