  1. Trains
    The film's chronological rigor imparts an "on-rails" historical linearity, a sensation of inexorable progress and doom.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Gavagai
    The film is a complex treatise on hierarchies of race, gender, and power in the contemporary art world.
  3. Queen at Sea
    As much as Binoche is the backbone of Queen at Sea, Courtenay and Calder-Marshall’s raw performances are no less impressive.
  4. To Hold a Mountain
    The documentary ultimately reveals itself as a paean to female strength and resistance.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    My Wife Cries
    The film starts off as an ostensibly simple tale of infidelity before it begins to grapple with even more anxious themes as it shuffles its characters into a series of memorable tableaux.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Dao
    As it bounces around from conversation to conversation to paint a portrait of a community at once both fractured and reassembled thanks to these congregations, Dao comes to suggest a less sardonic version of one of Robert Altman’s hangout movies.
  7. Mouse
    This is subject matter that might sound heavy, but the difficult feelings dredged up never overwhelm the film’s gentle, character-driven approach.
  8. Wolfram
    While Wolfram might struggle to convey a depth of feeling for its characters and the brutal, dehumanizing frontier they call home, it can be an intermittently satisfying good-versus-evil period piece.
  9. In a Whisper
    Leyla Bouzid’s ability to capture the complexities and contradictions of familial affection is what makes In a Whisper so impressive.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Nightborn
    Even if the film has few surprises in store for us, there’s something pleasingly unpretentious about how it leaves little room for subtext throughout.
  11. Lumiere, Le Cinema!
    Thierry Frémaux’s tribute is at its best when it spotlights just how much can still be rediscovered in the Lumière brothers’ formidable filmography, over 130 years after they filmed workers leaving the factory.
  12. Manas
    With one foot planted in documentary exposé and the other in coming-of-age drama, the film falls short of satisfying the demands of either genre.
  13. The Diary of a Chambermaid
    The influence of Brecht and Godard is plain to see, but any distancing effect is counterbalanced by Radu Jude’s earthy black humor and especially by the main character, who gives the film its strong emotional core.
