  1. Raw
    Throughout Raw, Julia Ducournau exhibits a clinical pitilessness that’s reminiscent of the body-horror films of David Cronenberg.
  2. Risk
    Laura Poitras doesn't indulge in score-settling cheap shots, but seriously grapples with her contradictory subject.
  3. The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Mäki
    This is a sports tale in which the character building has almost nothing to do with the sport.
  4. Mimosas
    Mimosas confounds its surface narrative with intimations of more layered meanings to come through a jockeying of story threads.
  5. Kiki's Delivery Service
    Kiki presents a world of fantasy in such a genteel, unforced manner that it only seems ordinary and mundane. As such, it feels like a touchstone for all of Miyazaki’s later, even greater works of cartoon storytelling art.
  6. The Thoughts That Once We Had
    Thom Andersen attempts to establish unity by effectively bridging vast swaths of film history into one cohesive body of work.
  7. The Phenom
    Noah Buschel shows that formula can be repurposed to serve empathetic ends without losing its self-actualizing appeal.
  8. Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You
    The doc finds pathos in an amiable, fluid construction that chronologically charts the career (and political) ambitions of TV producer Norman Lear.
  9. Call Her Applebroog
    It implies that not even the concentrated self-scrutiny required to make art like Ida Applebroog's is enough to make sense of ourselves to ourselves.
  10. Paint It Black
    It combines the brooding intensity of a slow-burn thriller with the high-flown ornamentation of a gothic melodrama.
  11. Denial
    Denial shows that people’s misfortunes need not preclude them from living virtuous lives founded on basic human decency.
  12. Three
    The film shows how much Johnnie To still experiments with his form, especially as he continues to transition to digital cinema.
  13. Ants on a Shrimp
    It offers lively and layered images that reveal the chefs both as individuals and components of a larger social organism.
  14. Imperium
    It demonstrates both the fatal proximity and deceptive distance that can exist between the words and deeds of extremists.
  15. In Order of Disappearance
    The film has been executed with a sense of formally stylish and thematically symmetric panache.
  16. Ralph Breaks the Internet
    When Ralph Breaks the Internet ignores the glittering marvels of the internet and focuses on the rapport between its two leads, it's deeply moving.
  17. Transpecos
    Violence in Transpecos is sparse, but the filmmakers use it with a narrative precision that highlights the unforgiving consequences that accompanies every choice in this desolate borderland.
  18. Hieronymus Bosch, Touched by the Devil
    It highlights how the ownership of art serves as a marker of capital for distinguishing one institution over another.
  19. On the Silver Globe (1988)
    It becomes a bleak comic spit into the face of organized religion, organized society, and even organized narrative.
  20. The Lost Arcade
    The film's images have a loose, rough, textured liveliness that honors the spirit of Chinatown Fair.
  21. Split
    Split is personal and outlandish, with questionable themes, riveting plotting, somber storytelling, and elegant construction.
  22. Bad Santa 2
    Both a potent rendering of and cure for the holiday blues, Bad Santa 2 shows that even the most hopeless situations can be remedied and that just about anyone is capable of redemption
  23. Spa Night
    It recombines elements of the emigrant saga and the coming-of-age story into a searching, fresh-faced portrait.
  24. A United Kingdom
    The Amma Asante film's broade sociopolitical overview is balanced by the intimate attention paid to the leads.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Neither Heaven Nor Earth
    While he may indulge in the occasional programmatic jump scare, writer-director Clément Cogitore ultimately heaves his debut feature closer to the realm of psychological terror, understanding that there's nothing more frightening or darker than the human mind.
  26. The Eagle Huntress
    Aisholpan’s liberation is a harbinger of the growing pressure that the outside world exerts on a once isolated community.
  27. Viva
    Viva‘s intentionally flat performances and flatter double entendres...mercilessly satirize the Playboy mindset even as the film revels in the kitschiness of it all.
  28. Abortion: Stories Women Tell
    Tracy Droz Tragos's documentary examines its titular subject with a compassionate eye for regional detail.
  29. Dancer
    It refuses to pass judgment on whether or not Sergei Polunin's success was worth so much sacrifice and heartache.
