  1. Inception
    The versatile actor brings the full weight of his talent to bear on a difficult role. DiCaprio has to hint at unpleasant secrets in Cobb's past while forging a bond with the audience. It's up to the performer to make Inception more about human beings than about special effects. He succeeds and that's one reason why this movie isn't only about challenging ideas and eye candy.
  2. Serenity
    A fast-paced, engaging science fiction adventure tale.
  3. The Last King of Scotland
    Director Kevin Macdonald has fashioned a film that is at times nearly as harrowing as his previous endeavor, "Touching the Void."
  4. The Orphanage
    For those who enjoy ghost stories and are willing to be patient with a movie that gradually unveils its secrets rather than uncovering them all in an orgy of violence and terror, The Orphanage fills a need. The spell it casts early does not evaporate until the epilogue is finished.
  5. Bones and All
    The problem with Bones and All isn’t that it’s disgusting or shocking or transgressive; it’s that it’s a tedious slog.
  6. Dune: Part One
    For what we get, Dune: Part One is a great ride.
  7. Red Lights
    One of the best thrillers I have seen this year: tight, taut, and unpredictable.
  8. Rush
    Formula One fans who remember 1976 will no doubt delight in the film but, for those who (like me) were more interested in other things during the year of America's bicentennial, it's not only a good lesson in sports history but an entertaining two hours to spend in a theater.
  9. Mean Creek
    By entering such fertile, intellectually stimulating and psychologically rich territory, Estes provides us with a freshman feature that is far beyond the generic coming-of-age tale Mean Creek initially seems to be.
  10. Bully
    The purpose of Bully is to educate and promote discussion. If the problem is not solved, there will be more Columbines and additional stories like Tyler and Ty's.
  11. Kundun
    Most of the film is dull and soporific. Breathtaking photography without emotional involvement can take an audience only so far.
  12. Armageddon Time
    It’s not that there’s anything fundamentally wrong with the film. Some of the individual moments are impactful or effective at evoking nostalgia. But, as they say, the whole is less than the sum of the parts. It feels like a watered-down replica of other, better coming-of-age stories.
  13. Munich
    A film of uncommon depth, intelligence, and sensitivity.
  14. Colette
    It doesn’t offer a story of any surprising depth or emotional strength. It’s straightforward which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but the limitations of this telling of Colette’s life is defined by a familiar quality.
  15. Millions
    It's an uplifting motion picture that will bring smiles to faces, and Boyle's trademark irreverence keeps the feel-good experience from becoming too saccharine.
  16. Disobedience
    Lelio’s subdued approach to the material robs it of potential emotional power but also keeps the story grounded.
  17. Woman of the Hour
    It’s a promising debut for Kenrick behind the camera and Zovatto is excellent in front of it but it’s hard to shake the incomplete feeling that accompanies a viewing.
  18. In the Line of Fire
    Petersen takes what could have been a muddled motion picture and structures it perfectly, creating a strong piece of entertainment. It helps, of course, that he has a capable cast.
  19. Hidden Figures
    Historical fudges aside, Hidden Figures provides an example of determination and talent triumphing over an unfair and repressive system.
  20. Gods and Monsters
    A rich, multi- layered portrait of a director from Hollywood's Golden Age whose own life was as interesting as any of his movies.
  21. The Town
    The pieces and parts assembled herein are familiar, but the manner in which Affleck puts them together results in an engrossing two hours of cinema.
  22. Cyrus
    Cyrus is affecting, but not in a clean, easily recognizable way. It is funny, but in a warped manner more likely to provoke unease than unbridled laughter.
  23. Lost in Paris
    Despite a few instances of profanity, the film could be at home fifty years ago. Lost in Paris is a capricious diversion with enough English that subtitle-phobes won’t feel completely adrift.
  24. Flame and Citron
    The movie often feels more like film noir than a war picture both in the way it is shot and in the manner in which the characters are handled.
  25. Sully
    Sully proves to be by turns engaging, exhilarating, and nail-biting.
  26. Go
    Fast-paced and often witty, but ultimately vapid.
  27. Into the Abyss
    For a documentarian of Herzog's stature, Into the Abyss ranks as a disappointment.
  28. Interstellar
    Interstellar is simultaneously a big-budget science fiction endeavor and a very simple tale of love and sacrifice. It is by turns edgy, breathtaking, hopeful, and heartbreaking.
  29. Bridge to Terabithia
    This is easily the best family feature of the early year.
  30. The Heart of the Game
    What really matters in this film are the lead characters - Resler and Russell - who are interesting enough to warrant such a cinematic endeavor. The upbeat film touches on serious issues without becoming lugubrious.
