  1. I Wish
    I Wish has a tough time balancing the heartfelt with the saccharine and too often feels slight.
  2. Going Down in LA-LA Land
    Director Casper Andreas does a good job conserving a simultaneous sense of disgust and attraction for the way big-city dreams end up stripping off wannabes from everything but their bodies.
  3. You Hurt My Feelings
    For a film that often veers into potentially absurd territory, You Hurt My Feelings shows a great deal of sensitivity toward its sad-sack characters.
  4. The LEGO Movie
    All told, there's an ageless warmth to The LEGO Movie akin to that of the LEGO brand itself.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Side Effects
    Like Magic Mike, Side Effects is enlivened by Soderbergh's jazzy style and laidback moralism, bringing to mind the work of another connoisseur of genre, Robert Altman.
  6. Sleepwalk with Me
    The funny thing about the movie isn't its failure-to-launch humor, but the weird mess of life that rushes in despite it.
  7. Liberal Arts
    Liberal Arts provides a peek into what makes Josh Radnor tick, and what he cares about outside his mainstream-targeted sitcom.
  8. Indie Game: The Movie
    Makes a compelling case for games as not only clever hand-eye coordination exercises, but also as manifestations of their creators' emotional and philosophical viewpoints.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    OC87: The Obsessive Compulsive, Major Depression, Bipolar, Asperger's Movie
    A tender, painful, and frustrating work of vulnerability, and because of this in some ways deflects critical commentary.
  10. A Cat in Paris
    An animated film with the cozy charm of an advertisement for Starbucks French Roast, A Cat in Paris is all design and no danger.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    U.N. Me
    U.N. Me isn't all sneering, and it certainly makes its points.
  12. Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present
    As entertaining as the documentary is, it never really measures up to the fascination and sheer force of personality of its subject.
  13. The Heat
    With the film, Melissa McCarthy definitively cements her status as a legitimate comic talent, leaving her co-star stumbling behind in her wake.
  14. Paul Williams Still Alive
    The film too often undercuts its goals by indulging its director's need for self-affirmation at the expense of the movie's far more compelling central subject.
  15. UFO in Her Eyes
    The serio-comic technique and ping-ponging aesthetics ultimately make for a winning approach.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    China Heavyweight
    Although we never really get to know He or Miao, despite following them around vérité-style, director Yung Chang expertly captures the rays of Western culture bouncing off them.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    V/H/S
    An anthology of found-footage horror shorts that exudes, sometimes extraordinarily, a neophyte's sense of courage and cluelessness.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    The Pact
    When The Pact descends, finally, from suggestion to explication, the scares regrettably slink away.
  19. Kumaré
    Kumaré has a premise that could've been the launching point for one of Sascha Baron Cohen and Larry Charles's satirical outrages.
  20. Cloud Atlas
    Its ideas are paralleled, its themes twinned, sometimes breathlessly, sometimes fatuously, into what may be described as a 164-minute pop song of seemingly infinite verses, choruses, and bridges. Perhaps expectedly, it soars as often as it thuds.
  21. The Imposter
    The film shrewdly opts not to proffer its own hypothesis about the true reasons behind the Gibson family buying Frédéric Bourdin's story.
  22. Searching for Sugar Man
    Despite crafting a consistently engaging film, the director doesn't present the full scope of Sixto Rodriguez's life.
  23. Funny Face
    The clothing may be couture, but Funny Face’s plot is strictly wash, rinse, repeat.
  24. Walk Away Renee
    It's Jonathan Caouette's insistence in going back to his nightmarish old footage, or the old footage that he purposefully renders nightmarish, that seems more interesting.
  25. It's the Earth Not the Moon
    After 30 minutes or so, Gonçalo Tocha's anthropological proposition slides into dubiousness.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Deconstructing Dad: The Music, Machines and Mystery of Raymond Scott
    The documentary is a work of careful consideration, moral weighing, and deliberateness of craft.
  27. Nitro Circus: The Movie
    While the Nitro Circus's many achievements are impressive, they pale in comparison to those of Knoxville and company's.
  28. The Well Digger's Daughter
    Ultimately comes off as curiously anecdotal, lacking the dramatic dynamism that could give Marcel Pagnol's tale new life.
  29. Wagner's Dream
    The title of Susan Froemke's documentary is both an expression of aspiration and a statement of achievement.
  30. Guardians of the Galaxy
    For every scene that soars into the dizzying heights of the pop sublime, there's another that crashes back down into the mundane troughs of studio-mandated formula.
