  1. The Overnight
    Brice, who made an impressive thriller debut with 2014's "Creep," has a knack for getting the most out of four people talking.
  2. Just Another Girl on the I.R.T.
    Harris offers an adrenalin rush of energy and talent. Her artfully stylized, explosively funny film also manages to be deeply moving without jerking easy tears.
  3. Hanna
    As Hanna confronts her past, the movie becomes like nothing you've ever seen. I'd call it a knockout.
  4. Pacific Rim
    What pulls us over the rough spots is the mind meld between del Toro the artist and the child inside him. They both want to astonish us. Geeks everywhere, salute.
  5. Night Catches Us
    Hamilton manifests her vision of what politics can do to individual thinking with subtlety and sophistication. Remember her name. She's a genuine find.

    The Smashing Machine
    Safdie is so determined to keep his film at a low simmer that one occasionally wonders if he’s turned the stove on at all.
  7. We Were Soldiers
    The battle, expertly shot by Dean Semler, captures the chaos of guerrilla warfare paralleled in "Black Hawk Down" and gives the film a scarring documentary realism.

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I
    Part I is more disappointment than disaster. It merely rolls along like something off an assembly line. Untouched by human hands.
  9. The Fantastic Four: First Steps
    There’s undoubtedly better adventures on the way for the Four in future endeavors, and this should truly be viewed as a first step to making them a major deal in the MCU. But to say their introduction is fantastic would be pushing it.
  10. Down in the Valley
    Down in the Valley is a wild thing that sticks with you long after it's over. You know, a real movie.
  11. In a Better World
    An emotional powerhouse.
  12. Last Breath
    The dramatized version simply floats, roils and plods forward as if being tugged dutifully along, ticking off checkpoints along the way. That IRL ending still reads as miraculous. Yet the whole thing feels still feels starved for creative oxygen.
  13. Outrage
    This film is a muckraking provocation whose time has come.
  14. The Way
    Estevez keeps his touch light, with a minimum of pedantry. The Way is really a gift from this son to his father. Sheen, gradually revealing a man painfully getting reacquainted with long buried feelings, who gives the film its bruised heart.
  15. The Rover
    All you really need to know is that The Rover is a modern Western that explodes the terms good and evil; that its desolation is brilliantly rendered by Michôd and cinematographer Natasha Braier; that Pearce and Pattinson are a blazing pair of opposites.
  16. Marie Antoinette
    With lyrical intelligence and scrappy wit, Coppola creates a luscious world to get lost in. It's a pleasure.
  17. Dr T and the Women
    Altman orchestrates Dr. T's odyssey with the precision, heart and lively wit of a virtuoso.

  18. About Adam
    Writer-director Gerard Stembridge keeps the amoral laughs bubbling.
  19. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
    It's a gimmick, it's not a movie.
  20. Napoleon Dynamite
    Hess and his terrific cast -- Heder is geek perfection -- make their own kind of deadpan hilarity. You'll laugh till it hurts. Sweet.
  21. Suffragette
    What makes Suffragette a relevant rabble-rouser, besides Mulligan's fierce, affecting performance, is the way it won't bow to the kind of Hollywood formula that tsk-tsks about how bad it was then — only to wrap everything up with a comfy banner that says, "You've come a long way, baby."
  22. Guilty by Suspicion
    Winkler's script creaks with melodrama, especially in the scenes with Merrill and his ex-wife, Ruth (Annette Bening), though Bening gives the role spine. Director Winkler fails to modulate the performances.
  23. Coup de Chance
    Coup de Chance is a pretty slight and minor film, but for an 87-year-old American working in a second language, it can’t help but seem impressive; it’s certainly as good as anything Allen has made since 2013’s Blue Jasmine.
  24. Interview
    Stick with it for Miller’s gutsy tour de force and the kick of watching Buscemi, as actor and filmmaker, turn an experiment into a mesmerizing battle of wills.
  25. Alien: Romulus
    Does it tick off the boxes of what we’ve come to expect from this series? Yes. Does it add up to more than The Chris Farley Show of Alien movies? Well … let’s just say no one may be able to hear you scream in space, but they will assuredly hear your resigned sighs in a theater.
  26. Frozen II
    Disney delivers an uneven but sensationally entertaining sequel to the Oscar winner that pulls out all the stops.
  27. Mother and Child
    In Mother and Child, he (Rodrigo Garcia) creates an emotional powerhouse.
  28. Disconnect
    Bateman, in a rare dramatic role, is just tremendous, finding depths of emotion where they're least expected. Disconnect works they same way. Even when it trips on its ambitions, it hits home.
  29. Goat
    Goat means to shake you, and does it ever.
  30. MaXXXine
    While there’s nothing on the level of Pearl‘s climactic monologue or credit-roll close-up, Goth still turns this revenge-of-the-final-girl parable into superior flashback pulp.
