  1. Irresistible
    These are desperate times, but if Jon Stewart wants to tack toward a more Frank Capra vein, that’s just fine. We already have one Adam McKay.
  2. West Side Story
    Steven Spielberg's West Side Story is at its best when it zooms in and settles down into character study.
  3. Bad Hair
    The film has an exciting, lived-in quality that elevates what are otherwise some markedly unsteady attempts at horror.
  4. Minari
    The film’s orderliness of plot somewhat undermines the sense that the family at its center is steeped in a truly messy situation.
  5. The Truffle Hunters
    The film’s reminder of the fragility of agrarian traditions in the face of a merciless profit motive is delivered with tact and subtlety.
  6. Relic
    The film heralds the arrival a bold and formidable voice in horror cinema.
  7. Surge
    More than effective in visualizing its protagonist’s disorientated state of mind, the camerawork may leave viewers feeling like they just stepped off of a merry-go-round.
  8. The Fight
    The film justly draws attention to the perpetual work that must go into preserving democratic institutions.

    Flesh+Blood
    In the end, Verhoeven’s greatest irony, and the often pedestrian narrative’s most brilliant stroke, isn’t to decide in favor or against Martin. He’s of a piece with his nature, and he leaves the story as he entered it: unchanged and unbowed by the carnage he’s both witness to and agent of
  10. The Green Knight
    A methodical, if largely allegorical, exploration of its main character’s psyche, the film smooths out the enduring mysteries, opaque psychology, and narrative idiosyncrasies of its source material.
  11. Resistance
    The film functions as a handsomely mounted biopic that tells a little-known story with considerable passion.
  12. The Dolls
    Dolls is still ultimately minor-key Gordon, exhibiting nowhere near the level of ambition or invention of many of his hot-house splatter classics, but it has been rendered with an artisanal level of craftsmanship that distinguishes it as an almost-hidden horror gem, ready for rediscovery.
  13. C'mon C'mon
    C’mon C’mon admirably doesn’t indulge in heartstring-tugging pathos, but the film suffers from a certain shapelessness.
  14. Da 5 Bloods
    Lost in so much bombast is the kind of story about its main characters’ lives that could’ve affirmed Spike Lee’s critique of America.
  15. i'm thinking of ending things
    The film has a weird, ghostly, even beautiful pull, but it functions mostly on theoretical terms because Charlie Kaufman has thought it to death.
  16. Arkansas
    The film’s insistence on keeping the stakes low throughout is probably its key strength.
  17. The Mitchells vs. The Machines
    While the film certainly lays out the dangers of technology run amok, it also sees its power to connect people.
  18. Swimming Out Till the Sea Turns Blue
    Jia Zhang-ke’s film is a quietly reflective, intermittently rambling rumination on an explosively momentous period in Chinese history.
  19. Sublet
    Eytan Fox’s film is a low-key observance of two men finding the beauty in each other’s mysteries and contradictions.
  20. Inheritance
    Simon Pegg occasionally fulfills the nightmarish potential of the film’s fairy-tale premise.
  21. She Dies Tomorrow
    Perhaps as a result of her attempting to avoid all matter of clichés, not just of genre, Amy Seimetz revels in vagueness.
  22. Slaughter High
    Despite the pretense of commentary, the film asks no underlying questions about the society that produces slasher films and revels in its narrative’s basic premise to numbing ends.
  23. 1BR
    The film gives palpable expression to the sense of hopelessness felt by those who fall under the control of cults.
  24. A Good Woman Is Hard to Find
    The film’s early scenes turn the stuff of paying bills and managing kids into manna for an unsettlingly intimate domestic thriller.
  25. You Don't Nomi
    Has the time come to ask if the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction?
  26. Hill of Freedom
    It isn’t without its pleasures and insights, but it’s ultimately little more than an excuse for Hong to try out a new stylistic color in his auteurist palette.

    For All Mankind
    If not the screen’s ultimate portrait of space travel, For All Mankind remains a peerless planetarium show.
  28. The Front Page
    Milestone’s direction is only sporadically inspired.
  29. Amulet
    The film never feels as satisfying or as haunting as its bow-tying epilogue strives for.
  30. The Rental
    Dave Franco has a mighty command of silence as a measurement of emotional aftershock.
