    Waitress: The Musical
    Waitress: the Musical offers the best of both worlds: a refreshing new take on a critically beloved but under-seen movie.
  2. I Carry You with Me
    I Carry You With Me poignantly captures the ache, the beauty of the characters’ love, and the pieces that get left behind in pursuit of something new.
  3. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning
    Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1 isn't a perfect movie — there's one big fumble that's sure to be divisive — but it's damn near close.
  4. Ghostlight
    Ghostlight bridges the gap between art and reality, blending a poignant narrative that aims to better understand a loved one and the expression of grief.
  5. Anora
    Anora is a lovable tale of rags to riches that comes exploding with chaos, hilarity, raunchiness, and a stupendous performance from Mikey Madison.
  6. Unicorns
    Unicorns is fascinating for such a simple movie, largely due to the testaments of a struggling single parent trying to make ends meet, as well as the references to the sometimes harrowing experiences of being queer and South Asian, all set against the backdrop of a casually evolving romance that feels so very real.
  7. We Grown Now
    It is Baig’s vision that makes We Grown Now sing in a way that is totally incomparable. Every shot, every musical choice, everything that makes a riveting movie is on display and at its very best here.
  8. A Taste of Hunger
    The film is truly a feast for the eyes and ears.
  9. 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.

    How to Train Your Dragon
    Overall I found How to Train Your Dragon to be great fun with a big heart - it drew me (and my daughter) in and we enjoyed it from beginning to end.
  11. Nomadland
    Nomadland might tell an unconventional story, but thanks to Zhao's careful hand and McDormand's performance, it will resonate with all audiences.
  12. Orion and the Dark
    From its endearing animation style, which blends a 2D aesthetic with 3D technology, to its poignant and refreshing writing, Orion and the Dark is a true joy to watch.
  13. The Amusement Park
    Sporting discordant sound design and deliberately surreal visuals, The Amusement Park emerges as a harrowing allegory about the terrors of ageism.
  14. Flee
    It's a story about family and preservation, but more than that, Flee is a testament to the broken social systems that allow families to fall through the cracks, leaving them desperate — and as a result of that desperation, vulnerable.
  15. 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.
  16. The Chronology of Water
    The Chronology of Water is a boisterous spectacle of the female experience directed with pure love and sincerity.
  17. Superman
    James Gunn's Superman movie launches the DC Universe in spectacular fashion, with a fun-filled romp that requires refreshingly little homework.
  18. The Vourdalak
    The Vourdalak is an indication of where modern horror movies should be headed. I was moved not by the gruesome violence of the story but by the devastating tragedy akin to a Greek drama. The Vourdalak doesn't need graphic cruelty to get its point across, as the movie and filmmaker understand that there is even more devastation to be found in the dark.
  19. The Devil's Bath
    The Devil's Bath is bleak but well worth the watch, especially if you like being guided down Franz and Fiala's dark, twisted rabbit hole.
  20. Air
    The stellar cast, in particular, is reason enough to run to the theater to see Air.
  21. Exhibiting Forgiveness
    Ultimately, Exhibiting Forgiveness is a movie that spoke to me on a deep level. It’s the type of transcendent experience that could make you confront your own demons and familial traumas you may not even have known existed.
  22. Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret
    Thankfully, Craig captures the magic that so many have fallen in love with over the decades. The story explores the uncertainties of religion, sex education, and girlhood with incredible sincerity and without judgment of any option. What's more, it beautifully reveals the side to humanity that society often tries to hide with these concepts — but does so with genuineness and care.
  23. Hokum
    Hokum is a refinement of what came before, not a rehash: a terrifically composed throwback that knows when to play things grounded and when to embrace the horror for its full potential.
  24. Blink Twice
    The psychological thriller is clever, sharp, and intoxicating, even in its eeriest moments. There’s a charm and depravity that are all too real, hanging over every scene as it makes us wait with bated breath for the big reveal that comes in glimpses and acts as stark contrasts to the characters’ initial excitement.
  25. The Long Walk
    The Long Walk is a film that requires patience from the audience as it unfolds; there is plenty to digest. With a stellar ensemble cast and a challenging, emotionally-driven narrative, this atypical ghost story will nestle into viewers' minds until Mattie Do’s next directorial triumph.
  26. To a Land Unknown
    It is focused on its small-scale story about the main characters who are burdened by pain and dead-ends, but carefully works in the broader injustices it wants the audience to see.
  27. Materialists
    Song has a particular knack for telling stories that break down the walls around our hearts and leave us aching in the best way possible.
  28. The Wasp
    Pitch-perfect performances elevate this magnificent film that I can’t say enough good things about.
  29. Shaun of the Dead
    It's not only a modern classic of the zombie genre, but one that is sure to stand the test of time for the next 20 years and beyond.
  30. The Drama
    As it tells a thrilling story, engineered with expert precision to keep you hanging on every turn, it embarks on a truly fascinating thought experiment about the nature of identity in relationships: who we are to other people, how easily that can change, and how disruptive it can be when it does. This film is rooted (to steal one of its laugh lines) in "double empathy," exploring when and why we condemn others without itself condemning any of its characters. It may be an entertaining conversation piece, but make no mistake, The Drama is also one of the best movies you'll see this year.
