  1. Brooklyn 45
    Ghosts and spirits appear, and weird things are indeed summoned, but Brooklyn 45 is really a meditation on grief and the unfinished business of war as experienced by a group who struggle with adjusting to peacetime.
  2. Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted
    The true heart of “Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted” is not simply the impressive biographical bullet points, but rather the gift of witnessing its subject being unapologetically himself.
  3. Sick of Myself
    Sick of Myself works as well as it does due to Kujath Thorp’s charismatic performance.
  4. Mogul Mowgli
    A simultaneously deeply personal and sometimes-opaque cinematic experience that often feels like walking through memories—messy, malleable—in search of an intrinsic inner truth.
  5. Thirst Street
    It’s a portrait of obsession that doesn’t caricaturize nor ridicule, an empathetic account of desire and its inherent limitations, as well as an opaque psychological study that falls in line with life’s myriad mysteries.
  6. The Imitation Game
    The Imitation Game is most on its game when it primarily sticks to being a John le Carre-lite espionage version of “Revenge of the Nerds.”
  7. London Road
    They all ultimately seem as if they are participating in a dubious enterprise, devised by gifted individuals who somehow can't take a big picture view of a story that would seem to demand one. London Road is brilliant in all the wrong ways.
  8. A Monster with a Thousand Heads
    The movie deserves to be known, first of all, as a terrific example of intelligent, captivating film craft—further proof of the recent strength of Mexican cinema.
  9. Maria by Callas
    Maria by Callas offers a new side to her legend, one that was also vulnerable, smart but also lonely, a fate that sometimes befalls headstrong women.
  10. The Raid 2
    The action stuff in The Raid 2, while likely to alienate the squeamish and summon dark thoughts of cinematic nihilism amongst overthinking highbrows, really IS like nothing else out there.
  11. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
    Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, this film fits into Marvel packaging in its own way, but it has an immense soulfulness that other MCU movies, superhero movies, and action movies in general should take notes from.
  12. Luca
    While some material may hit with younger audiences, Luca makes for Pixar’s least enchanting, least special film yet.
  13. Prey
    It’s a scary and fun amusement park ride that also elicits a surprisingly tender emotional response.

    I Am Breathing
    An earnest and important film. It deserves to be seen by anyone who is interested in documentaries and anyone who is interested in the simple human stories movies too often overlook.
  15. Lenny Cooke
    This is quite a good sports documentary, moving and unafraid of making you work for its pleasures.
  16. Searching
    It aims for and earns genuine emotion rather than cheap thrills.
  17. MoviePass, MovieCrash
    The doc struggles to land on whether MoviePass was a predetermined failure or something that was failed, and the lack of participation in many of the key players for the latter hurts its ability to probe deeper.
  18. The Menu
    The Menu remains consistently dazzling as a feast for the eyes and ears.
  19. Seeking Mavis Beacon
    Seeking Mavis Beacon is utterly creative, a documentary that reflects the state of the Internet as it stands, and as it turns a mirror on its makers.
  20. Catch the Fair One
    Catch the Fair One is a revenge-thriller, and a satisfying one, since the evil on display is so total. However, the satisfaction is hollow. Hopelessness is the dominant mood.
  21. Heretic
    It’s designed to quicken your pulse and your mind at the same time, which is too rare in genre filmmaking. It’s also gorgeously made, and wonderfully performed.
  22. Susanne Bartsch: On Top
    Rich in personal archival footage and first-hand accounts. It’s as if every other clip in the movie is a peek into a bygone era.
  23. Pete's Dragon
    Common wisdom says Hollywood doesn't make this kind of movie anymore. But it's not true.
  24. Prevenge
    Lowe's attempts at getting into anti-heroine Ruth's head are largely unsuccessful, though her performance is sometimes effectively hysterical.
  25. Ema
    While Larraín has an undeniably strong eye, this film completely collapses without a believable performer in the title role, one who can sell both regret and passion, sometimes in the same dance move. Di Girolamo never takes a false step.
  26. Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed
    Kijak's film can remind a new generation that, despite seemingly insurmountable difficulties, some of our queer forebears could find a little slice of happiness, despite living in a world that told them they were not welcome.
  27. The Long Walk
    The concept, in classic King fashion, is simple but alluring, and designed to explore the kind of adolescent male bonding the author honed in works like Stand by Me and IT.
  28. King Georges
    The movie also show’s Perrier’s humor, and his talents as a mentor.
  29. Spider-Man: No Way Home
    Yes, of course, “No Way Home” is incredibly calculated, a way to make more headlines after killing off so many of its event characters in Phase 3, but it’s also a film that’s often bursting with creative joy.
  30. Ralph Breaks the Internet
    Ralph Breaks the Internet dares to encourage kids to not only be themselves but allow their friends to be true to their wants and needs as well. Your friend doesn’t have to be exactly like you to be your friend. It’s a message that’s very well-threaded through an entertaining, clever ride.
