  1. Minari
    By not giving into what might be expected from a typical immigrant story, Chung has given the material space to breathe on its own, creating a space that can be appreciated by all kinds of people. The cast shines, the story hits home, and Minari stands as a winner.
  2. Marty Supreme
    Though its far-reaching ambitions and many stylistic juxtapositions might make it seem like the work of two (or more!) filmmakers, Marty Supreme isn’t just a masterpiece, but feels vividly like a cohesive — and singular — vision.
  3. Magellan
    Diaz's previous work is both longer, cheaper and mostly in black and white. Magellan is still long, but by comparison, a breeze; it is also clearly expensive and centers a massive global star in what is essentially a biopic. But Diaz's work is subversive by design, a bait-and-switch as a matter of course.
  4. The Power of the Dog
    Campion’s film is gorgeously crafted and detailed, emotionally effective, and layered in shades of meaning about masculinity. Mesmerizing in every way, The Power of the Dog is a triumph.
  5. The Quiet Girl
    The Quiet Girl is an earnest depiction of family and unexpected connections that lingers long after the credits roll.
  6. Hard Truths
    Thanks to a stunning lead performance from Jean-Baptiste and an ending that doesn’t take the easy way out, it is a must-watch.
  7. Train Dreams
    At times, the movie is deeply compelling, but its complexities can get lost in the shuffle and repetition of the same points. Striking cinematography and philosophical reflections can’t make up for this too-slow film that pokes at life’s meaningful moments without inspecting them further.
  8. Hamilton
    The Hamilton filmed stage production is a stunning showcase of one of Broadway's biggest hits, maintaining all the heart and energy of the musical.
  9. The Father
    The Father dives deep into the mind, delivering an engaging film that is unsettling, achingly sad, and is strengthened by Zeller’s assured narrative.
  10. Parallel Mothers
    Disarmingly relatable and unpredictable, Parallel Mothers is an unflinching and unforgettable look at motherhood, love, and loss.
  11. Poor Things
    Lanthimos has often bewildered audiences with his sensibilities, but Bella Baxter proves to be the perfect muse for the director's inherent curiosity, a lens through which to look at the world that reveals harsh truths and startling beauty.
  12. Wolfwalkers
    Thematically rich and visually arresting, Wolfwalkers is an enchanting adventure into the very heart of nature, helmed by a classic, robust narrative that tugs at the heartstrings.
  13. Familiar Touch
    It's carefully crafted and spectacularly emotional.
  14. Return to Seoul
    It is a moving portrait of a troubled young woman facing what so many face during their lifetimes. Displacement, anxiety, and self-doubt are universal experiences, and they're all beautifully captured through Chou’s vision and Ji-min’s stunning performance, which is among the best to be captured on camera.
  15. Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
    Led by two powerhouse performances, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom soars when it lets its stars shine, hitting the audience with a gut punch of emotions.
  16. Robot Dreams
    The characters are animated with such clarity of expression, and the film is edited so expertly, that lines just aren't necessary.
  17. Nomadland
    Nomadland might tell an unconventional story, but thanks to Zhao's careful hand and McDormand's performance, it will resonate with all audiences.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Banshees of Inisherin
    Dark and violent at times, The Banshees of Inisherin's use of juxtaposition make for a compelling and simultaneously hysterical film for the ages.
  19. On Becoming a Guinea Fowl
    It isn’t just stellar filmmaking, it’s necessary viewing for those of us aching to break the cycle of abuse.
  20. All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt
    All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt’s non-linear approach requires patience and its character development is a bit thin, but the film is stunning, thought-provoking, and poignant, with each frame lovingly executed.
  21. The Tragedy of Macbeth
    The Tragedy of Macbeth is a visually stunning and faithful Shakespearean adaptation fueled by captivating performances from its stars.
  22. Flow
    Flow makes us think and feel in equal measure.
  23. Resurrection
    Resurrection is both testament to the importance of storytelling, as well as the dangers of falling too far within its rabbit hole. But with stories as wrenching and images as evocative as these, why not jump in?
  24. Good One
    The film is compelling and quietly thought-provoking as it peels back the layers of the relationships at the forefront, while also showcasing the discomfort that follows but isn’t always picked up on.
  25. Anatomy of a Fall
    Anatomy of a Fall is as addicting as any true-crime story, and as riveting as some of the best murder mysteries thanks to a team effort in front of and behind the camera.
  26. Fallen Leaves
    Perhaps, Kaurismäki's movie suggests, disaffection is a valid response to this reality we live in. So, when these two people meet and sparks fly, it becomes all the more meaningful.
  27. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
    Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is phenomenal from start to finish, raising the stakes, emotion and heart with beautiful artistic animation.
  28. Showing Up
    It is a richly layered work of art.
  29. I Saw the TV Glow
    The film gives good insight into the confusion and fear we may face when exploring our sense of self.
  30. May December
    Luckily, it’s as entertaining as it is insightful, using humorous undertones to highlight the dangerous personalities of those who offend. And thanks to that eccentric and campy score to match the tone of the story, Haynes’ latest has all the elements needed to confuse us as much as it entertains and educates, which takes us on a fascinating watching experience.
