  1. Cloud
    The action isn't elegant. It's erratic and loud and ugly. . . it's a symphony of chaos. It's also a damn good time, even if Kurosawa leaves us with the haunting notion that we're all too connected, just one click away from finding opportunity or something much more dangerous.
  2. Flora and Son
    Flora and Son is energetic, easygoing, and charming. With a great cast, lovely musical numbers, and a stupendous lead performance by Hewson, Carney doesn’t disappoint.
  3. Rebel Ridge
    Rebel Ridge is consistently precise in tone, theme, and pacing throughout.
  4. 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.
  5. Amrum
    Amrum doesn't fully confront all the questions it poses, instead serving as a meditation on the ways a child might respond to a world he doesn't fully understand.
  6. Talk to Me
    Talk to Me is an assured directorial debut, serving up plenty of terror, gore, and emotional beats in a story that is well-developed and carefully crafted. Audiences will be hooked to the screen, impatiently awaiting what comes next in this unsettling, thrilling horror.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Son of Monarchs
    Son of Monarchs is an expertly crafted visual experience that weaves disparate themes and images.
  10. Something in the Dirt
    Something in The Dirt is a wild ride that will take one to the limits of reality and test one's patience.
  11. Wasteman
    For a film that clocks in at around only 90 minutes and doesn't tackle any one subject outright, Wasteman effortlessly makes you think about many issues.
  12. Boys Go to Jupiter
    It’s a mind-bending visual odyssey wrapped around a grounded, relatable human story.
  13. Spencer
    Heavy-handed and unnecessarily long, Spencer explores Diana as a prisoner of the royal family in heart-wrenching and beautifully haunting fashion.
  14. Cassandro
    Ultimately, Cassandro is a touching tale of a remarkable person who paved the path for others to find liberation and acceptance through their chosen art.
  15. No Sudden Move
    No Sudden Move is a tautly-paced noir thriller prepped with a never-ending carousel of twists and betrayals that culminate in a satisfying denouement.
  16. Sisu: Road to Revenge
    In some ways, the film's hollowness allows it to circle back upon itself and become a pure expression of adrenaline.
  17. September 5
    It's a riveting film, but one that left me feeling hollow and ultimately frustrated with the continued way in which much of American cinema tackles crises like the one at the center of September 5.
  18. King Richard
    Bolstered by a solid performance by Will Smith, King Richard is a feel-good, charming sports biopic that uplifts but never reaches its full potential.
  19. Shirley
    While it can be too elliptical for its own good, Shirley is a frequently spellbinding blend of fiction and memoir anchored by a mesmerizing Moss.
  20. Sharp Corner
    A fascinating character study that shows us the dangers of finding fulfillment in all the wrong places.
  21. 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.
  22. How to Blow Up a Pipeline
    From its close-up shots to its wide framing of characters against the barren Texas desert, there is a sense of immediacy that makes the film's thriller elements all the more enrapturing.
  23. Pearl
    For those who may not have seen X, Pearl may be intriguing enough for them to go watch the original film. As both a prequel and standalone horror film, however, Pearl comes up short.
  24. The Fire Inside
    The Fire Inside manages to accomplish a lot in its nearly two-hour runtime. It’s a sports drama that encapsulates the experience of living in Flint and a powerful, character-driven story that isn’t afraid to show the gritty aspects as they actually are.
  25. Encanto
    Though it can't quite break out of the Disney mold, Encanto is greatly aided by a unique story, a delightful cast of characters, and a vital message.
  26. Emily the Criminal
    Poignant in parts, sharp and thrilling in others, Emily the Criminal satisfyingly delivers on many levels.
  27. The Naked Gun
    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.
  28. The Order
    Kurzel's film can be watched at face value, and anyone inclined to like this type of movie will enjoy it. But as it chugs along, it also shows us what hate can look like and what it can do. Like Husk's story, it is a warning, and it leaves us with the chilling sense that the events depicted haven't, or maybe can't, come to an end.
  29. The Count of Monte Cristo
    The Count of Monte Cristo is as much a swashbuckling adventure as it is a warning about the dangers of letting yourself get lost in the desire for things that don't matter. With a gorgeous score that uplifts every scene, making them more tense, romantic, and devastating, and sets and costumes on par with the best period pieces of the 21st century, everything about the movie is planned and carefully executed.
