  1. It's a remarkably compelling film that is sure to stay in the hearts and minds of audiences for years to come.
  2. Squeezing every possible ounce out of the actors, script and sets, Stark delivers a thrilling medical drama that asks: what is the cost of living?
  3. Consequences, choices, love, identity, and paranoia are all at the center of this mesmerizing thriller.

    If you're a martial arts/action movie fan in particular, much of the action in the film will leave you very satisfied. There's a prison escape sequence that is jaw-droppingly cool.
  4. Uplifted by an incredible central performance by Hall, The Night House twists and turns, weaving terrifying visuals and jump-scares with thought-provoking and emotional story beats. The result makes for one of the best horror-thrillers of the year.
  5. To All the Boys: Always and Forever offers a heart-meltingly sweet, warmly cheerful and charmingly hopeful romance that delivers a much-needed breath of relief amidst this cold and bleak winter.

    Xala fictionalizes the key years of post-independence in Africa. It is a story of choice: of the different paths Africa could take on its road to the future.
  6. Whereas most Disney remakes have been limited by a lack of originality, both in terms of script and character development, Cruella emerges as a much-needed act of rebellion, with the titular character donning an identity invested with true meaning. Needless to say, Cruella is the future.

    Bugonia will make you laugh, squirm, and gasp in equal measures, but the film always feels in control of which of these emotions it wants you to feel at any particular moment. Lanthimos is a master of creating atmosphere, and Bugonia really feels like he’s at the top of his game.
  7. Overall, Frozen is another fine addition to the Disney animated feature pantheon, offering a witty and heartfelt princess fairly tale with creative musical elements and some visual panache.
  8. The Naked Gun makes up for its lack of story with a complete commitment to the bit and uproarious performance from Liam Neeson and the cast.
  9. You’ll Never Find Me is an excellent, audacious entry to the horror genre. It’s disconcerting and thrilling, with an emotional center and something to say. Allen and Bell confidently craft an effective story that will stay with you long after it’s over.

    Even if it admittedly does not include much that has not already been shown, the emotional experience of seeing this pivotal arc of the manga come to life onscreen and the original scenes that are new more than make up for that shortcoming.
  10. Poignant in parts, sharp and thrilling in others, Emily the Criminal satisfyingly delivers on many levels.
  11. In End of the Road, Shelton transforms an already compelling script into one about family, motherhood, and survival. And it is nothing short of entertaining and refreshing.
  12. What makes Dossier 137 a fascinating watch is being able to observe a singular character battle all the complexities of morality when it comes to justice, truth, and conflict of interest. Moll doesn’t write Stéphanie with the intent of letting her take the easy way out, which creates some exceptional character study moments.
  13. Kneecap is a film that shifts expectations. It’s chaotic in the best way, alive with buzzing energy and resistance.
  14. The lull of Memoria would be non-existent without Swinton’s breathtaking presence, as she grounds and elevates the elusive drama with incredible nuance.
  15. While the film could have spent more time specifically exploring Margaret’s life, The Map of Tiny Perfect Things is a thoughtful, charming, and heartwarming film that utilizes the time loop aspects to great effect.
  16. It sits among some of the best films Bustamante has created and stays with you long after the final scene.
  17. Sometimes the central metaphors of the film are so cleanly didactic they risk becoming preachy, but, more often than not, the film tilts in such inventive ways that recognition only breeds appreciation.
  18. As the film progresses, and Melody continues to find new and innovative ways to express herself and communicate, she finds a new grasp on life, which helps her true personality shine through. This ultimately creates a heartwarming and engaging film that constantly challenges expectations and forces us to assess our own bias.
  19. Enzo is subtle in its examination of queer desire, understanding that quick glances and soft touch can be just as sensual — and even more effective — as anything intense.
  20. I Am: Celion Dion is a compelling and engaging snapshot, a visceral experience that is worth watching, especially for fans.
  21. The film’s characters are human and, while they’re afforded depth and nuance, Ebo isn’t interested in coddling them or excusing Lee-Curtis’ behavior. And it’s in the balanced exploration of characters and religious hypocrisy, the blending of the facetious with the serious that makes the film worth the watch.
  22. Top Gun: Maverick is a rare sequel that is not only better than the original but retroactively makes Top Gun's story altogether deeper.
  23. It’s a film that is certainly a must-see, complex and emotionally devastating in its exploration of power and hierarchy.
  24. Anchored by excellent lead performances from Ed Helms and Patti Harrison, Together Together is a charming crowd-pleaser with a lot of heart.
  25. Led by a stunning Emma Mackey, Emily is a striking depiction of a woman embracing her individuality while crafting an iconic piece of literature.
  26. Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City is a fun and faithful adaptation of the games it is based on, but is lacking in character substance.
