  1. The Starling Girl
    Even in the most discomforting moments, director Parmet finds a way to delicately balance morally complex issues. The Starling Girl, even with its unsettling themes about abuse, is a triumphant effort about finding love within.
  2. The New Boy
    Warwick Thornton’s feature tests faith and humanity in a way that will leave a lasting impression. It’s the kind of film that requires no stance from us, yet is fully capable of opening hearts and minds from a place of empathy and understanding.
  3. John Candy: I Like Me
    Through the amazing array of talking heads Hanks assembles to share their relationship to Candy, we are left with the distinct impression that there just wasn't anyone else like John. A grand man indeed, in a grand documentary to suit him.
  4. A Useful Ghost
    Underneath its story of the sudden animation of household products is a layered critique of late-stage capitalism, a plea for the humanity of queer folks, a rebuke of the erasure of history and of memory, and a challenge against traditionalism which holds back a people from necessarily breaking free, to the next stage of life.

    Suspicion
    Suspicion is a compelling mystery that slowly reveals itself layer by layer.

    Signing Tony Raymond
    The color palette stays consistently vibrant with the comedic theme of the film and of a city like Alabama. Paired with measured pacing and a satisfyingly calibrated ending — where most characters get what they deserve — Signing Tony Raymond leaves viewers smiling at a familiar underdog story, confidently and capably told.
  7. The Twits
    While the film may thematically point to real-world struggles in the United States, The Twits is mostly an accessible story about the power of empathy in the face of naked evil, all to the tune of about a thousand fart jokes.
  8. Bad Apples
    The film is genuinely funny, and the cast is up to the task as the story balances impending consequences for Maria’s actions and gasp-inducing comedic satire.
  9. Beastie Boys Story
    Beastie Boys Story makes for a fun exploration of the Beastie Boys' history through the eyes of Ad-Roc and Mike D, but it may not be as comprehensive as some hoped.
  10. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning
    While fans of the Mission: Impossible franchise might shed a tear watching this emotional tribute, all audiences will be swept away by its action.
  11. Rye Lane
    Allen-Miller’s inventive feature debut suspends everything one may know about moving on too soon and getting over heartbreak. The creative world she conjures is vibrant and entertaining, leading to an experience that is humorous and immersive.
  12. The Mastermind
    Through the period and genre trappings of a 1970s heist film, Reichardt explores the inherent isolation of staying neutral at a time of ballooning cultural and political unrest.
  13. The Batman
    With exhilarating action scenes, a layered story & poignant, in-depth characterization, The Batman is a worthy addition to the live-action DC slate.
  14. The Outfit
    The Outfit is an old-fashioned and masterfully crafted crime thriller that makes good use of its setting, charismatic cast and an excellent lead.
  15. The Oldest Person in the World
    A soft and gentle hug of a film, one that reifies life's most sacred values while retaining the essential mystery behind our most pressing questions.
  16. The Wild Robot
    The film is outstanding in almost every regard. It's an uplifting, hilarious, gut-wrenching, and stunning animated adventure that reaffirms the power of a parent's love.
  17. Heretic
    Heretic knows exactly how to keep us mesmerized. It's a unique horror experience that's sure to have everyone talking.
  18. The Woman King
    Minor hiccups aside, The Woman King is a blockbuster with a lot of heart and a clear story that is tightly written; it’s well worth the watch.
  19. Ponyboi
    It doesn't reinvent the wheel, and it shouldn't have to. What it does prove is that queer stories, more often than not, add new layers to narratives that have been done before.
  20. The Adam Project
    The Adam Project is a charming and fun sci-fi throwback, fueled by a strong script and one of Reynolds' best performances.
  21. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
    Though messy at times, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is an impactful examination of grief aided by excellent character work and exhilarating action.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Death of a Gunfighter
    Surprisingly solid Western that bears the distinction being the first film ever credited to "Allen Smithee," a long-time pseudonym used by directors who wish to distance themselves from a project.
  23. Hellbender
    From beginning to end, Hellbender is an impressive, at times shocking, and enthralling triumph.
  24. Challengers
    It's dramatic storytelling with blockbuster-levels of energy, a triumph for Guadagnino, and a new all-time great sports movie where the games off the court are just as hot as they are on it.
  25. Little Amélie or the Character of Rain
    To put it in a kinder way, Little Amélie is a delicate testament to the power of solidarity and the ability of children to heal wounds across space and time.
  26. Night Call
    Night Call is a stirring and compelling film that immediately grabbed my attention and maintained it throughout its runtime.
  27. The Burial
    A satisfying David vs. Goliath tale of justice, The Burial is the type of film you’d watch for the history lesson, stay for the entertainment, and return to see a wonderful cast let loose in all the best ways imaginable.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    To Kill a Wolf
    With stunning performances and a stirring narrative, I found every departure this movie made from its inspiration completely worthwhile.
  29. Monkey Man
    The film certainly delivers on the action set pieces, but it also scales back to lay the groundwork for the story so that the payoff is well worth it. Monkey Man isn’t some basic action thriller; it’s an underdog story about the power of the people.
  30. Bury Me When I'm Dead
    With constant changes that still feel consistent and a dread that keeps growing with every minute, this psychological thriller is a perfect encapsulation of how well multiple genres can weave into each other.
