  1. The Nomi Song
    Occasionally exhilarating documentary.
  2. Collapse
    It would have been helpful had Smith put his words into some sort of context, allowing others to assess his theories. Instead there's simply Ruppert, talking, raging and warning, as if his very life depended on it.
  3. Mansfield Park
    O'Connor plays Fanny with an appealingly direct, unflinching gaze.
  4. Divan
    Warm and engaging.
  5. The Great Dance: A Hunter's Story
    Never shies away from either the beauty or the cruelty of the hunt.
  6. Macbeth
    Something sexy this way comes. With an electrifying Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard headlining Macbeth, there’s going to be heat. Even more so since they’re both magnetic and silver-tongued in this jaggedly beautiful but sometimes jarring film.
  7. Warrior
    Has moments of power that push through a fake-out script.
  8. I Will Follow
    DuVernay's feature debut is simple and almost proudly plain. But such a stripped-down approach allows its authenticity to shine.

    Far from the Madding Crowd
    Director Thomas Vinterberg’s romantic rollercoaster honors Hardy’s rustic vibe. Remarkably, too, he’s made a thoroughly modern film anyone can relate to — it’s like a “what a woman wants” discussion set in Victorian times. It’s also an instant classic.
  10. Sleepwalk with Me
    Birbiglia is a great storyteller, but not a natural actor. Matt should really be played by someone with more skill - and by someone in his 20s, rather than a 33-year-old who pretends to be in his 20s by acting as clueless as possible.
  11. Pleasantville
    Giddily inventive.
  12. Requiem for a Dream
    Locks in on its self-destructive subjects so precisely, it's almost unbearable to watch.
  13. Separate Lies
    A neat, twisty little domestic drama about smart people, foolish choices.
  14. Where the Wild Things Are
    The film treats kids' inner lives as more than a fantasy, which is a rare and beautiful thing.
  15. Fallen Angels
    Dull it is not, but Wong's trademark sense of romantic melancholy fails to jell amid all the excess, and the film turns frankly silly once the mute starts imagining himself in love with a can of sardines. [21 Jan 1998, Pg.37]

  16. Run & Jump
    Peake provides the solid center for a movie that would otherwise melt into indie formula. The quirky supporting characters, slow pacing and predictable plotting intermittently threaten to overwhelm such a modest story. But then Ted secretly turns his camera back toward Vanetia and, like him, we’re smitten again.
  17. Roman de gare
    The story's Hitchcockian plot loses steam quickly, though Pinon's salty presence keeps things from getting totally bloodless.
  18. Shadow of the Vampire
    Works on several playful levels. Most obviously, it is a horror movie in which life imitates art on a movie set.
  19. Carnage
    An amazingly self-assured movie, it percolates with themes and ideas, all held together by the gift of the bull's parts.
  20. Twin Falls Idaho
    Has the gentlest feel of any movie I can remember.
  21. Carandiru
    Babenco does a better job with place than with people: His explosively overcrowded jail is a teeming tenement, which makes the inevitable climax feel, finally, like something real.
  22. Collateral
    The whole movie is something of a joke, a feature-length prank that mixes stark violence and shock humor in the mold of Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction." Though it is a far less ambitious entertainment than Tarantino's masterpiece, it has its moments.
  23. House of Sand and Fog
    It's a sad, rich story, full of misunderstandings, bad bargains, odd parallels.
  24. Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D
    The results are impressive. Maybe, as the U.S. falls abysmally behind other nations in the sciences, it will get kids interested in that field again.
  25. Grbavica: The Land of My Dreams
    Jasmila Zbanic's poignant drama reminds us that the aftershocks of war linger for generations.
  26. Testament
    A haunting, emotionally devastating movie. [04 Nov 1983, p.C21]

  27. Starry Starry Night
    All the popcorn movies you're planning to see will still be at the multiplex if you wait another week. This shimmering beauty will be gone in a flash. Catch it while you can.
  28. Don't Breathe
    With his second film, Alvarez has mastered the tension of Hitchcock and the misdirection of a magician, proving himself to be a filmmaker of merit even when dealing with more realistic horrors.
  29. Neshoba
    Moving, intelligent documentary.
  30. Molly's Game
    Compared to a really great poker game, sometimes “Molly’s” comes up a little short. It definitely keeps you too long at the table. And there are times — like every Sorkin script — where it won’t stop talking. Really, buddy, shut up and deal...But when the chips are down, its stars come through. And in the end, we all walk away winners.
