  1. Cassandro
    Like any good fighter film, Cassandro builds to the sort of incredible final bout that makes your hairs stand up and the rest of your body want to.
  2. Anatomy of a Fall
    At its best, Anatomy of a Fall is nothing less than a rigorous modern treatise on the knotty interpersonal dynamics of long-term relationships and how conveniently they can be distorted when exposed to public scrutiny.
  3. Remembering Every Night
    The film is a gentle evocation of contemporary Japanese life in its pleasures and frustrations.
  4. Robe of Gems
    A Bolañesque waking nightmare, the film insists that we come to terms with it rather than straightforwardly enjoy it.
  5. A Haunting in Venice
    In the end, any attempts that A Haunting in Venice makes at connecting post-war trauma to Halloween and the ability to commune with the dead are non-committal, and the script doesn’t do enough to communicate why any of that matters.
  6. Dumb Money
    The film’s status as a corporate entertainment product (among the film’s producers is the Winklevoss twins) also presents an internal discord in and of itself, particularly with the script incessantly preaching financial equality for all.
  7. Kidnapped: The Abduction of Edgardo Mortara
    The story is kept at a stress-inducing simmer, with occasional surges of operatic emotion.
  8. Last Summer
    The film somehow feels tight, open and leisurely, and cloaked in dread all at once.
  9. Perfect Days
    The film’s details collectively grow absurd and pompous.
  10. La Chimera
    In this rueful film about all things unseen, the importance of time is seemingly felt by everyone.
  11. The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed
    The film embodies the alienating angst of millennial life in all its nakedly neurotic glory.
  12. Here
    Bas Devos’s trademark placidity and restraint constitutes a challenge to narrative convention.
  13. About Dry Grasses
    Above all, the film captures how easy it is to deposit too much hope on the few who represent dissent, or freedom, when one is trapped.
  14. Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell
    The protagonist may feel cut off from the world, but the film is deeply in harmony with it.
  15. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3
    For devotees of the franchise, Nia Vardalos's film will be a surprisingly emotional trip home.
  16. Rotting in the Sun
    At once an excoriating satire of the performativity of homosexuality within a social media-addled community as well as a seemingly earnest lament for the total loss of collectivity, the film minces neither words nor bodily appendages.
  17. The Equalizer 3
    The overarching plot of the film is pretty boilerplate, but the fine details count for a lot.
  18. El Conde
    The film never really leans into the farcical possibilities of its premise nor its earnest appraisal of Augusto Pinochet’s legacy.
  19. Ernest and Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia
    A unique joie de vivre courses through A Trip to Gibberitia’s every meticulously composed frame.
  20. Perpetrator
    Perpetrator cycles through characters and settings at a considerable clip, never stopping long enough to flesh them out beyond an outline.
  21. The Mountain
    Thomas Salvador frustratingly never offers a concrete sense of what his character feels that he’s lost, and so we’re tasked with loading meaning onto the character’s journey of apparent self-reclamation.
  22. Bottoms
    The film’s unique blend of deadpan and absurdist humor, and its tendency to occasionally push the boundaries of good taste, shows that Emma Seligman is comfortable working on both ends of the comic spectrum.
  23. Retribution
    Without a compelling reason for us to care about the people inside the car, a reasonably diverting journey never accelerates into an outright thrill-ride.
  24. Gran Turismo
    What the film lacks in connective tissue, it makes up for in sheer vibes.
  25. Scrapper
    Charlotte Regan’s film is a baffling clash of two incompatible visions.
  26. Fremont
    The film has the ethereal feel of a half-remembered, mostly pleasant dream.
  27. Minamata Mandala
    The film understands how atrocity is perpetuated, fanning a maddening sense of injustice.
  28. Madeleine Collins
    Seemingly channeling the spirit of Claude Chabrol, Antoine Barraud’s Madeleine Collins is a decidedly classy throwback thriller about a seemingly humdrum character committing perverse acts of subterfuge against others.
  29. It Lives Inside
    The film views its main character’s culture, as well as her struggles to suppress her identity in order to fit into her suburban world, with a nonchalance that often scans as negligence.
  30. Mutt
    That Feña suffers so that other trans people won’t have to may be edifying to some, but it also reduces Mutt to an Afterschool Special.
