  1. Sweaty Betty
    Sweaty Betty is a reminder that poetry comes in all shapes and sizes, and that art ultimately dictates its own terms.
  2. Tokyo Tribe
    Sion Sono's film imagines gangs not as rebels without a cause, but a lost generation of displaced, poisoned youths.
  3. Barista
    It captures the frustration and the longing of forever wanting more and better at the expense of casualness of being.
  4. Anomalisa
    The film's highpoint is one of the most remarkably moving sex scenes in all of American cinema, and the irony of it involving bland puppets is hardly lost on Kaufman and Johnson.
  5. Eye in the Sky
    Director Gavin Hood treats the aesthetics of high-tech surveillance as the opaque membrane through which the prosecution of the War on Terror must pass.
  6. Tired Moonlight
    It's to Britni West's credit that she's yoked the film's experimental sequences with the hard reality of characters trying to figure things out.
  7. The Fool
    It takes place entirely at night, and the dingy color palette, washed-out and intentionally drab, presents Russia as an almost alien landscape.
  8. Prophet's Prey
    One watches the film with an escalating sense of disbelief and horror, as Warren Jeffs is steadily revealed to be an even greater monster than we initially take him for.
  9. Hardcore Henry
    The film's unbelievably precise choreography of action seeks to tap into a universal feeling of powerlessness.
  10. Francofonia
    For all its congratulatory spirit, the film has the persistent feeling of an elegy bidding adieu to a bygone time.
  11. Janis: Little Girl Blue
    It grounds us so effectively in Joplin's emotional realm as to partially rekindle the social transcendence that her voice must have represented for its owner.
  12. Meadowland
    Both Olivia Wilde and Luke Wilson understand the greatest pain of loss to be rooted in its searing inexpressibility.
  13. (T)error
    It displays a staggering propensity for examining its unauthorized scenario without succumbing to either too insular or too general a set of assertions.
  14. Bare
    Dianna Agron, suddenly inspired to let go, proves the perfect on-the-prowl foil to Paz de la Huerta's free spirit.
  15. Western
    After the film's early optimism and speculative midsection, Western struggles to manage all the rich dramatic irony of its final half hour, perched uneasily between plot and stasis.
  16. Ingrid Bergman in Her Own Words
    It highlights the potent dichotomies that, combined with Bergman's relatively unmediated beauty, made the actress luminescent both on and off screen.
  17. Flowers of Shanghai
    Flowers of Shanghai operates on the whole much like Yoshihiro’s music, filling your senses like a thick haze, holding you rapt without petitioning for your attention.
  18. Microbe and Gasoline
    Microbe and Gasoline is enervating for both relishing whimsy and looking behind it to absorb the yearnings of youth and its attendant complications in all their nakedness.
  19. The Pearl Button
    Despite the defeated tone of Patricio Guzmán's tales, a spotlight is placed on the power of persistence.
  20. Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom
    This is activist filmmaking that manages to be both angry and elegiac in its recounting of the 2014 Ukrainian revolution.
  21. Dukhtar
    The film functions as a love letter to Pakistan, despite the misogynistic culture it exposes.
  22. Mediterranea
    The film is unwaveringly attentive to problematizing the dividing line between predator and prey.
  23. Toy Story 4
    The film seamlessly interweaves fun escapades and earnest emotions, but it lacks the visual power of its predecessor.
  24. Ant-Man and the Wasp
    Ebulliently funny, visually inventive, and above all passionately committed to the idea that heroism isn't a burden but an uplifting realization of our best qualities.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Magnificent Seven
    The Magnificent Seven fights an uphill battle in matching the scope and thrills of its source material.
  26. Ixcanul
    The film's structure, however stifling, is filled with gorgeous imagery and nuanced symbolism.
  27. Troublemakers: The Story of Land Art
    The absence of a central narrator for the most part prevents the film from devolving into gratuitous pedagogy.
  28. Band of Robbers
    It places more focus on the childish fabulousness of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer than the racial reckoning of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
  29. Sand Dollars
    It respects and plumbs the feelings of all three main characters while surfacing the economic, ethnic, cultural, and gender power imbalances in their relationships.
  30. Funny Bunny
    Alison Bagnall and her talented leads appear to effortlessly achieve a tone that's tricky to sustain, one that abounds equally in absurdism and empathy.
