  1. Do Not Resist
    Director Craig Atkinson's documentary explicates its points with blunt but persuasive efficiency.
  2. Cameraperson
    Cameraperson is certainly a collection of memorable images, but it's more so Johnson's facility with narrative, on a micro and macro level, that impresses.
  3. The Seasons in Quincy: Four Portraits of John Berger
    It insists that it's in moments of small talk, between life's larger events, that one finds vitality.

    Silicon Cowboys
    Jason Cohen’s slick aesthetics manage to elevate Silicon Cowboys beyond fellow “info dumps” of this caliber.
  5. Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer
    Writer-director Joseph Cedar charts Norman's rise-and-fall arc with the attention to detail of a procedural.
  6. Peter and the Farm
    Peter and the Farm is a warts-and-all portrait that asserts its subject's sense of purpose even as it seems to slip out of his grasp.
  7. 20th Century Women
    Mike Mills’s 20th Century Women incurs sorrow at the prospect of saying goodbye to its characters.
  8. The Monster
    The film has an eerily WTF arbitrariness that should be the domain of more films in the genre.
  9. Free Fire
    Ben Wheatley's film reduces the modus operandi of the action movie down to its starkest elements.
  10. Paradise
    Andrei Konchalovsky's film is more than an exercise, as pitiless moments accumulate with enraged relentlessness.
  11. Blue Jay
    Mark Duplass and Sarah Paulson have extraordinary chemistry, painting a cumulative portrait of the fragility and rareness of being truly in sync with a partner.
  12. A Family Affair
    Throughout A Family Affair, time is continually collapsed to the point where events separated by many years bleed into one another.
  13. Belle Épine
    Neither sentimentality nor nostalgia for reckless years gone by can be found in Rebecca Zlotowski's Belle Epine, which makes its tale of teenage rebellion in the face of overwhelming grief fall closer to a sobering character study than a classical youth film.
  14. Kékszakállú
    Like Shohei Imamura, Argentinian writer-director Gaston Solnicki can be understood as a cinematic "entomologist."
  15. Get Out
    Throughout Get Out, Jordan Peele incisively probes the connection between liberal racism and good old-fashioned white supremacy.
  16. The Son of Joseph
    The insistence of Green’s gaze throughout the film encourages us to look beyond the mechanisms of speech and behavior at the more uncanny movements of the conscience.
  17. Creepy
    In terms of formal orchestration, Creepy is as sublime as any prior Kiyoshi Kurosawa film.
  18. XX
    These shorts follow female protagonists as they wrestle with exclusion and implicit social standards that may or may not extend to their male counterparts.
  19. Seasons
    Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud's Seasons is a nature documentary that reveals itself as a story of tragic usurpation.
  20. The Prison in Twelve Landscapes
    The plaintive plain-spokenness of the interviewees, the way they matter-of-factly speak of atrocity, is transcendent and intensely haunting.
  21. The Illinois Parables
    Even more diverse than the film's historical material is its eccentric mash-up of styles and approaches.
  22. A Star Is Born
    Bradley Cooper understands that a message is only as resonant as its messenger, so he surrounds himself with collaborators, old and new, who can sell even the hoariest cliché.
  23. Old Stone
    Johnny Ma's Old Stone is a lean, nasty entry in a subgenre that could be termed the bureaucratic noir.
  24. Two Trains Runnin'
    Sam Pollard's documentary teeters on reaching a higher plane of meaning simply through the efficiency of its information.
  25. On the Map
    It captures how sports can bring wholly disparate people together to accomplish feats that change the destiny of nations.
  26. My Life as a Zucchini
    The film circumvents bleakness with a thoroughgoing commitment to understanding and intimacy.
  27. Spider-Man: Far from Home
    Jon Watts deftly weaves the epic and the mundane aspects of Spider-Man’s existence throughout the film.
  28. Contemporary Color
    The Rosses share David Byrne’s interest in the minutiae of habitats and the comforting enclosure they provide along with the discomfiting constriction of anonymity.
  29. The Party
    It captures the qualities of live theater that are rarely transmitted to film, of being immediate, alive, and spontaneous, as if the viewer is just a stone's throw away from the characters.
  30. The Ornithologist
    The film revels in a hushed and lucid expressionist naturalism that’s reminiscent of Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker.
