  1. The most interesting and beautiful piece to this puzzle is the fact that Dillane's performance can steer the audience in any direction emotionally and at any given moment.
  2. It's a fascinating character study and a strong debut for Clint Bentley.
  3. The spectacle doesn’t mean there’s no heart at the story’s core, and it kept me watching despite being overlong.
  4. Left-Handed Girl is ultimately quite optimistic while never succumbing to the saccharine.
  5. It would be an understatement to say that Dead Lover is unusual. It may be more accurate to call it entirely novel.
  6. Throughout the film, Arnow takes us on a quiet odyssey that captures the search for real intimacy, as Ann struggles to act on her desires in all parts of her life.
  7. Without relying on cheap jump scares, Soderbergh’s psychological horror thriller is a shattering mystery about instinct that will chill you.
  8. This is not a biopic of an artist so much as a human artwork, capturing the many questions he provokes and the contradictory answers that define him.
  9. Lord & Miller's film is a remarkable achievement.
  10. There aren’t many films that can capture a character’s feisty spirit while still contending with the struggles and feelings of growing older. To that end, Thelma is a breath of fresh air, a crowd-pleasing film that knows exactly what it is and what it’s trying to accomplish. It does so with style and grace.
  11. Love Lies Bleeding is practically guttural, and the emotions that take hold of each character are raw and unfiltered. With action, crime, and romance mingling and building toward an explosive and engaging finale, the film is a thrilling ride from start to finish.

    Waitress: the Musical offers the best of both worlds: a refreshing new take on a critically beloved but under-seen movie.
  12. What makes The Invite ultimately so special is its unabashed honesty, even when it means doom.
  13. An effective portrait of ambiguity accompanied by a stellar lead performance, Apples' contemplative nature hides nuanced questions about the modern age underneath its placid surface.
  14. Sporting discordant sound design and deliberately surreal visuals, The Amusement Park emerges as a harrowing allegory about the terrors of ageism.
  15. Though it's more of a reboot than a sequel, 28 Years Later pays homage to the original film without sacrificing its originality & fresh spirit.
  16. What makes Carolina Caroline so magical is the way it transcends its clichés to tell an engrossing story.
  17. How to Train Your Dragon 2 is the rare sequel that improves upon its predecessor in nearly every single way imaginable.
  18. Kneecap is a film that shifts expectations. It’s chaotic in the best way, alive with buzzing energy and resistance.

    There’s a real thematic depth to each chapter, and the stories are relatable enough to never be boring, but Jarmusch’s insistence on writing three separate narratives about the same concept is a major misstep.
  19. Niasari carefully and assuredly handles an intense and emotional story with ease and vulnerability. With her work on Shayda, Niasari is a filmmaker whose work we should keep an eye out for.
  20. 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.
  21. Part revisionist history, part unconventional character study, Corsage is carried by Vicky Krieps' brilliant performance and its willingness to buck genre conventions in favor of a dark and dreamy fairy tale.
  22. Slow and frustrating, with a finale that is unearned, Red Rocket fluctuates between trying to say something and getting lost in its own premise.
  23. 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.

    Islands feels less like a destination than a prolonged pause. It’s watchable, occasionally absorbing, but rarely urgent. It’s hard to shake off the feeling that Gerster introduces narrative ideas he has little interest in fully developing.
  24. I Am: Celion Dion is a compelling and engaging snapshot, a visceral experience that is worth watching, especially for fans.
  25. All Quiet On The Western Front does not live and die by each round of ammunition, it thrives through personal connections and incredible shots of stunned faces covered in soot.
  26. While Super/Man touches upon the role, its impact on Reeve’s career and personal life, the documentary is more of a touching ode to the complicated, charming man behind the cape, and the perseverance he showed following his accident.
  27. The Trial of the Chicago 7 makes for an entertaining and compelling courtroom drama, bolstered by Sorkin's script and strong performances.
