  1. One Battle After Another
    It's a film that acknowledges the vital importance of community and the revitalising power of genuine, heartfelt human connection, especially in a world that sometimes seems designed to undermine those things. It is – without a shadow of a doubt – the film of the year so far.
  2. The Brutalist
    Seven years in the making, The Brutalist is epic in its length, weight and ambition, like a modern-day Orson Welles picture, while it also bears comparison to contemporary masterworks like There Will Be Blood.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Whiplash
    Damien Chazelle's blisteringly told tale of an aspiring jazz drummer and his bullying mentor is a hugely entertaining, refreshingly subversive take on the well-worn "inspirational teacher" theme.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Marty Supreme
    Like many great American character studies, you won’t look away and will laugh as much as you condemn. Chalamet’s performance is a feat of sheer intensity.
  5. No Other Choice
    Even if No Other Choice will leave you stone-faced, you can’t help but admire the invention on display, especially in later scenes, where Park dips into the surreal.
  6. Power To The People: John & Yoko Live in NYC
    It's a visual treat, often employing split-screen effects that give viewers a more intimate sense of proceedings, and the man of the hour, alongside Yoko Ono and backed by the New York-based band Elephant's Memory, is effortlessly charismatic throughout.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Under the Skin
    Under the Skin delivers startlingly original imagery amid the Scottish landscapes and finds queasy horror everywhere thanks to Mica Levi's pervasive electronic score. It's an experience you'll not forget in a hurry.
  8. The Stranger
    Adapted by director François Ozon, the script makes subtle adjustments to Camus's work without ever demystifying its more enigmatic elements.
  9. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
    Both actors imbue events with personality, bringing rich textures to the story that have been largely missing since 28 Days Later, resulting in a supremely satisfying horror thrill ride with unexpected depth.
  10. Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
    It's safe to say that this particular entry in the series gets a little darker, a little more unsettling and a whole lot weirder than either of the previous instalments.
  11. The Testament of Ann Lee
    Devised by Brutalist composer Daniel Blumberg, the songs are spirited, and Mamma Mia! star Seyfried invests fully. But with characters often reduced to making declamatory statements, it becomes an increasingly vexing exercise.
  12. Paul McCartney: Man on the Run
    Neville, an Oscar winner for his 2013 study of backing singers 20 Feet from Stardom, devotes perhaps too much time to biographical details fans will already know well, but should be applauded for scratching deeper below the surface of a superstar in transition.
  13. Blue Moon
    It’s a tender – and sometimes affecting – portrait of the artist, one that hopefully will allow modern audiences to remember the contributions Lorenz Hart made to popular culture.
  14. Frankenstein
    Perhaps it's hyperbole to call the film del Toro’s masterpiece – especially a story that has been told countless times. But this is a work that is the accumulation of three-and-a-half decades of filmmaking knowledge. Gory and grim it may be, but it is a tragic tale told in a captivating manner.
  15. Project Hail Mary
    This is science fiction with a reassuring soul, where the sombre comes bearing a smile, and the vastness of space is never quite so scary when you’re sharing it with a new pal.
  16. A House of Dynamite
    For sure, Bigelow has crafted a film that works both as nerve-shredding entertainment and as a thought-provoking anti-nuclear statement.
  17. Hoppers
    It’s not quite up there with Pixar’s finest, but this warm, extremely witty and wonderfully entertaining film is sure to delight the whole family, whilst spreading a positive message about living side-by-side with nature and not judging our fellow humans too harshly.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    DJ Ahmet
    Combining charming performances, arresting imagery and, naturally, a great soundtrack, the result feels universal because it acknowledges that everyone was young and yearning once.
  19. The Sheep Detectives
    Ultimately it generates plenty of fun for the whole flock, and the more it leans into its madness the more it succeeds.
  20. Bugonia
    This pleasingly madcap comedy-drama will no doubt satisfy fans of Lanthimos’s off-kilter take on the world around us.
  21. Is This Thing On?
    It’s a good exercise for Cooper in creating something more low-key, even if it doesn’t quite come off. Still, in the days where adult-skewing dramas are becoming an endangered species in movie theatres, this should be applauded for attempting the subject of divorce with a level head.
  22. Dragonfly
    Two actors, among the very best of their respective generations, come together for Dragonfly, a bleak but captivating study of loneliness and social care set in contemporary Britain.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Crime 101
    Layton sustains the slow-burning tension, punctuated occasionally by some riveting chases, as the quartet circle each other on the way to a nerve-jangling, edge-of-your-seat climax where the outcome is anything but predictable.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Saipan
    Of course, if you are not steeped in football lore or are no particular fan of the game, you might consider Saipan a film for sports enthusiasts only. However, thanks to fabulous performances and a witty, perceptive script that’s more concerned with the game of life than the game itself, it has something for everybody.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Wrecking Crew
    If you just want to see two massive blokes smashing the hell out of people, things and each other, with the odd decent one-liner, you could certainly do worse, and Amazon feels like the perfect home for this hunk of mindless man-candy.
  26. Steve
    It’s high drama throughout and not always comfortable viewing, but Mielants and Porter use their canvas to shine a light on broader issues of social and educational systemic failure without once stumbling into preachiness.
  27. Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale
    It would be unfair to claim this closing film concludes on a whimper. But neither is it quite the grand finale the title would have us believe. More like a pleasant stroll with characters you know and love.
  28. The Housemaid
    Feig could be accused of over-egging puddings in the way he ultimately ties the threads of his characters together, and there are one or two moments when too close an examination of his house of cards might send it tumbling to the ground, but the end result is a satisfyingly scary chiller that benefits from not always taking itself seriously.
  29. The Smashing Machine
    Johnson, looking radically different under a cropped black wig, takes this opportunity and wrestles with it. Not since his work for Michael Bay in Pain & Gain has he done anything this out of his comfort zone.
  30. undertone
    In all fairness, Tuason ups the ante in the last reel, the pedestrian tease of what went before giving way to more palpably spooky shenanigans, but it’s a ludicrously long wait for the yarn to step up a gear that runs the risk of the audience having already given up on the whole affair.
