  1. The Phenom
    Written and directed with compassion by Noah Buschel, the film is a low-key chamber piece better suited to television. But don’t let its restraint fool you: As unshowy as it is, The Phenom has an impressive collection of tools.
  2. Southside with You
    A pleasingly low-key effort pitched at fans of the first couple.
  3. La sierra
    The tragic victims in "City of God" are played by actors while those in La Sierra are flesh-and-blood real.
  4. Disappearances
    Solidly old-fashioned entertainment.
  5. Monsieur Ibrahim
    The script falters at the end, as the two reach the Turkish village where Ibrahim was raised. But the winning performances -- and killer '60s soundtrack -- save the day.
  6. Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
    Some advice: Don't even bother trying to figure out what's going on in Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence -- just sit back and enjoy the lush, trippy visuals.
  7. Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow
    A daunting work that will please movie lovers willing to invest their time and intellect. Now I look forward to Fiennes' next project, a feature about Grace Jones.
  8. Memories of Tomorrow
    As the wife, pixie-ish Kanako Higuchi provides the perfect accompaniment to Watanabe.
  9. Elite Squad: The Enemy Within
    A crackling musical score and eye-popping cinematography add to the nonstop ferocity, and Wagner Moura is charismatic as the head of the titular police unit.
  10. Pariah
    This is a look at the joy, confusion and heartbreak of adolescence that's both culture- and locale-specific and, at the same time, universal.
  11. Leaving
    The plot isn't a new one (remember Lady Chatterley?), but Corsini gives it a few twists and turns that keep matters fresh and suspenseful.
  12. Above and Beyond
    Though somewhat marred by cheesy docudrama re-enactments, the film (produced by Steven Spielberg’s sister Nancy) is nutty, dramatic, surprising and above all inspiring.
  13. Mother
    Mother is yet another winner by Bong, one of Asia's most talented directors.

    The General
    Shot in luminous black and white, John Boorman's The General is an off-puttingly adoring homage to a complete savage [18 Dec 1998, p.65]

  15. The Charcoal People
    Raises an interesting question. Do you clamp down on corporations in order to protect the environment or do you let them go about their business because they help feed countless families.

  16. Author: The JT LeRoy Story
    Author is one of the most entertaining documentaries in recent memory — and, possibly, the origin story of catfishing.
  17. Naqoyqatsi
    Who needs mind-bending drugs when they can see this.
  18. Chaos
    There's a carnivalesque medley of subplots scampering about the screen, but Serreau manages to emerge triumphant with all the threads nimbly stitched together.
  19. Love Liza
    An oddly endearing little chamber piece that provides a terrific showcase for Hoffman, surely the best actor who has never been nominated for an Oscar.
  20. The Go-Getter
    The enchanting voice on the phone, who delightfully shows up in person halfway through, belongs to Zooey Deschanel. In real life, she hooked up with the composer of the lively score, M. Ward, to create the pop duo She & Him.
  21. 2012
    As you might suspect, the 2012 dialogue is pure Velveeta.
  22. Schultze Gets the Blues
    A sweet and charming treat.
  23. Other People
    Deeply personal screenwriting and a superlative performance by Molly Shannon as a dying mom lift Other People above the level of many similar tragedy-inflected indie comedies.
  24. The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros
    Preteen sexuality is a sensitive subject, but director Auraeus Solito handles it with dignity, never becoming exploitative.
  25. Footloose
    Footloose won me over early, with a sequence in which the hero gets all heavy metal while restoring his badass ... VW Bug.
  26. Girlhood
    Girlhood veers between being a celebration of sisterhood (albeit an occasionally violent sort) and a chronicle of the cycle of poverty.
  27. Fifty Shades of Grey
    The film never pretends to be other than what it really is: soft-core porn for the ladies, diluted with an “R” rating.
  28. Sleep Dealer
    Far more worth seeing than most of what's out there.
  29. Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me
    The star gives us a generous and hilarious portrait of life as an aging legend.
  30. Dr. Dolittle 2
    Wholesome entertainment that will please the under-10 crowd without boring their parents.
