  1. Tokyo Waka: A City Poem
    In short, the crows are pests, but the movie shows them great affection, as do the humans who discuss the ways they must accommodate the crows. After a while it is impossible not to admire the birds’ intelligence and resilience, and see that perhaps it’s the other way around: The crows are the ones putting up with us.
  2. Cartel Land
    Looking at the Mexican drug wars from both sides of the border, Cartel Land is punchy and vital but not particularly informative.
  3. Shotgun Stories
    Features a riveting performance by Michael Shannon as oldest son Son. He's definitely an actor to watch.
  4. Anita O'Day: The Life of a Jazz Singer
    A high point shows O'Day, in a black-and-white hat and form-fitting dress, singing "Sweet Georgia Brown" at the Newport Jazz Festival. That scene alone confirms O'Day's place among the greats.
  5. Soul Kitchen
    There are moments of fun (an aphrodisiac-laced dessert, for example), but generally the humor seems warmed-over.
  6. The Dog
    Wojtowicz was a folk hero thanks to the movie, and he cashed in on his celebrity by signing autographs in front of the bank he tried to rob. He also retained the love and support of his wife and his doting mother, both of whom are interviewed with him in The Dog, until his death in 2006.
  7. We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks
    Despite Gibney’s best efforts to put a halo on Manning, the enormity of what the soldier did towers over what has been done to him.
  8. Cinévardaphoto
    Sitting through three totally unrelated documentaries in a row -- with all that puzzling (subtitled) dialogue and those long (enigmatic) silences? That's a migraine waiting to happen.
  9. Midnight Special
    You may feel echoes of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and “Starman,” but writer-director Jeff Nichols has ultimately crafted his own unique twist on the genre.
  10. Japan
    Doesn't have the crossover appeal of the Mexican sexcapade "Y Tu Mama Tambien," but it does herald the arrival of an audacious young filmmaker. We can't wait to see what he does next.
  11. Zhantai
    Awesome filmmaking. But it doesn't make for easy film-watching.
  12. Brothers
    Director Susanne Bier is helped by a well-chosen cast, especially the glowing Nielsen, a Danish-born actress best known for American films like "Gladiator."
  13. The Last Station
    Helen Mirren outdoes even her Oscar-winning performance in "The Queen" with her tour de force as Countess Sofya Tolstoy in Michael Hoffman's delightful The Last Station.
  14. Margin Call
    Spacey does his best work since "American Beauty'' as a tired middle-aged corporate warrior whose greatest compassion, in the end, is reserved for an ailing dog he has to put to sleep.
  15. Listen Up Philip
    In Listen Up Philip, the tiny fury of Jason Schwartzman suggests his “Rushmore” character is now 15 years older and a middling Brooklyn novelist. His deadpan misanthropy is good for some acerbic laughs in a movie that starts appealingly but gradually comes to seem closed and stuck.
  16. Regular Lovers
    Long, talky and shot in black and white. In other words, it requires a commitment in time and brain power - a commitment worth making.
  17. The Wonders
    Its tactile feel for the dirt and labor of a farm, and tender regard for the young protagonist, are immensely endearing.
  18. Wonder Woman
    Pine makes a perfect foil for Gadot’s furrowed-brow sincerity, his Steve Trevor wry and comfortable enough in his skin to hold his own with Diana (even when she’s scrutinizing his naked form).
  19. The Hidden Blade
    Bears more than a passing resemblance in story and form to "The Twilight Samurai," but stands on its own as a pleasant, if unremarkable, romance.
  20. (500) Days of Summer
    It's the oldest bittersweet story in the book, of course, but music-video director Marc Webb approaches his feature debut with great confidence, flair and a minimum of schmaltz.
  21. Me and You and Everyone We Know
    Me and You takes a couple of neat swipes at the pretentiousness of the art scene, but as a commentary on the difficulty of connecting in contemporary society, it's too precious by half.
  22. The Secret Lives of Dentists
    Lacking a solid narrative beyond the worsening marital crisis, this humor-flecked domestic drama ends up relying heavily on directorial tricks such as splashes of magic realism, giving it a self-satisfied air that quickly becomes grating.
  23. The Revenant
    A film I admired, but didn’t especially like, The Revenant is a master class in craftsmanship, marrying the ethos of 1970s Hollywood, with its beaten-dog heroes forever roughed up by a brutal system, to the technological prowess of today’s digitally obsessed blockbusters.
  24. La grande strada azzurra
    iIt is clear that it would have benefited from black-and-white cinematography. And the melodramatic musical soundtrack is annoying and unnecessary.
  25. Stronger
    Director David Gordon Green (“Our Brand Is Crisis”) generally skips feel-good cliché to chronicle Bauman’s struggle with being painted as the face of never letting the terrorists win.
  26. Horses of God
    A remarkable attempt to portray what might turn soccer-playing boys into fanatical murderers.
  27. Afternoon of a Faun: Tanaquil Le Clercq
    The story is something of a trap: Both irresistibly poignant and an invitation to wallow.
  28. Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation!
    You might not want to watch all of "The ABC of Love and Sex Australian Style," "Turkey Shoot" or "The True Story of Eskimo Nell," but the clips on view in "Not Quite Hollywood" are a hoot.
  29. Obvious Child
    No, this film by director/co-writer Gillian Robespierre just isn’t funny, and the mismatched leads aren’t even interesting together.
  30. Iris
    Though Iris is extremely well-acted and beautifully photographed, some audience members may find themselves agreeing with Bayley's frustrated complaint: "I've never known who you are."
