  1. Song of Lahore
    The final note of optimism is consistent with the documentary's overall tone and interest in perseverance.
  2. Le Mans
    Le Mans needs to be rediscovered so that it can be hopefully embraced as one of star Steve McQueen’s finest hours.
  3. The Dark Horse
    Despite the occasional cliché, this film mostly feels as messy as life, and as movingly complicated.
  4. Democrats
    According to the film, individual misdeeds aren't the final enemy, but the byproduct of an unregulated regime.
  5. Stinking Heaven
    As in Nathan Silver's previous work, what could have been a rote retread of Pasolini's Teorema blossoms into a study of factional identity and power dynamics.
  6. The Creation of Meaning
    In the simultaneously heady and lyrical The Creation of Meaning, we're obviously implicated in that comment, as the film views the meaning-making process as something malleable and dependent on perspective.
  7. Rolling Papers
    It neither glorifies nor castigates pot usage, letting consumers speak for themselves without the intrusion of an omnipresent voice.
  8. Doctor Strange
    Nothing that Marvel Studios has produced can compare to the visual splendor of Scott Derrickson's Doctor Strange.
  9. Viva
    The drag in the film rejects the U.S.-centric obsession with "realness" and the acrobatics that come with it.
  10. Kubo and the Two Strings
    It offers a powerful metaphor for the manner in which we carry the memories of our departed inside ourselves.
  11. The Edge of Seventeen
    The smartest thing about Kelly Fremon Craig's teen dramedy is its measured take on its protagonist's theatrics.
  12. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
    Its feminist perspective checkmates the frat-boy misogyny and machismo that too often mar films set in combat zones.
  13. King Georges
    Erika Frankel’s documentary is finally revealed to be a story of prolonged adjustment to retirement, and a poignant illustration of sublimated redemption.
  14. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
    With its fine-tuned comic timing and feeling of constant action, Into the Spider-Verse is downright invigorating, and that’s evident even before it gets to its dazzling, dimensional-colliding climax.

    King Jack
    Harsh punishments are dished out in a way that jolts the material away from coming-of-age cliché.
  16. Certain Women
    The threat of feeling slighted links every small and large ripple of drama in Kelly Reichardt's film.
  17. Swiss Army Man
    Even as it invites snarky ridicule, the film dares you to buy into its singular earnestness.
  18. Eisenstein in Guanajuato
    What comes through clearly by the end of the film is the act of one artist's eccentric generosity breathing new awareness into the life of another.
  19. Antarctica: Ice and Sky
    The documentary advances its cause through an intimately diaristic depiction of hard work done well.
  20. River of Grass
    Kelly Reichardt's film is a wry, appealingly raggedy look at the impossibility of conjuring up excitement from boredom.
  21. Eat That Question: Frank Zappa in His Own Words
    It presents a captivating portrait of one of the era's greatest defenders of artistic freedom and a true American original.
  22. The Fits
    This singular mix of character study and mysterious mood piece might not have come off quite so successfully if not for Royalty Hightower's internal performance.
  23. Joshy
    The film feels most real, even at its most absurd, when focused on the idea of closure as a kind of fantasy.
  24. The Lure
    Agnieszka Smoczynska's film is most poignant when it simply stares at its own strangeness.
  25. Morris from America
    Chad Hartigan's film is especially perceptive about the effect of external influence on personal development.
  26. Under the Shadow
    The film's horror is spookily and movingly expressive of the tenuous position of women in 1980s Iran.
  27. Lovesong
    So Yong Kim's film ultimately manages a convincing articulation of friendship between women.
  28. Equity
    The film ultimately succeeds in offering a fresh female-centered perspective on its genre material.
  29. Fort Buchanan
    Benjamin Crotty's film is content to drift free-associatively through the intricacies of group mechanics via an expressive free-form structure.
  30. Diamond Tongues
    Throughout, Pavan Moondi and Brian Robertson purposely indulge Hollywood formula only to subvert it.
