  1. Inni
    As a document of a live show it looks like nothing else, but Vincent Morisset's greater aspirations, attempts to define or sum up the band through the inclusion of external material, come off as muddled and oblique.
  2. Tickled
    There's no sustained effort to answer the first question any editor or J-school instructor worth his or her salt would ask: So what?
  3. Rojo
    It masterfully sustains a sense of “wrongness” that will be felt even by those unfamiliar with Argentina’s history.
  4. The Guest
    David's perversity as a character is mostly disarming for how it illuminates the sadness with which a foe can so readily be confused for a savior.
  5. Margin Call
    A portrait of the eve of 2008's financial crisis that plays out with funereal inevitability, Margin Call loves speechifying, but the film is far more assured when lingering in the silence of its morally compromised characters.
  6. The Hand of God
    Throughout Paolo Sorrentino’s film, the line between miracle and cosmic prank, even tragedy, is rendered indistinguishable.
  7. Listen Up Philip
    By putting so much weight on his characters' speech, Alex Ross Perry's is an approach with honestly few contemporaries in American independent film.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Vic + Flo Saw a Bear
    The film presents its tonal switch-ups and narrative swerves with a deadpan belligerence by turns stimulating, calculated, and poignant.
  9. Los Reyes
    The film is a quietly radical attempt to view the world from a non-human perspective.
  10. The Wild Goose Lake
    The film’s masterstroke is that its fugitive antiheroes are framed by an environment that reflects their criminal lives back at them.
  11. The Holy Mountain
    The Holy Mountain is nothing if not exuberant while cartwheeling its way through the cosmos and back through the non sequitur-strewn plains and deserts, towns and cities, ridges and ranges of Mexico.
  12. The Wonders
    Like a rural Fellini, Rohrwacher mixes the mundane with the absurd to create a sometimes fabulous tale that always feels palpably real.
  13. World on a Wire (1973)
    Fassbinder's sumptuous 205-minute epic is intriguing as a prototype for later and more palatably cynical sci-fi standards like "Blade Runner" or even "Total Recall."
  14. Wonder Woman
    Wonder Woman is a strong, at times even rousing, application of the superhero film formula, but it ultimately can’t transcend the constraints of the genre.
  15. Murina
    With so much screen time devoted to portraying its main character’s complexities, the other characters remain half-developed, and to the detriment of the film’s themes.
  16. Something in the Dirt
    The film’s sheer fun and invention counterbalance its main characters’ abject failure in their search for meaning and success.
  17. Tito and the Birds
    The Brazilian animated feature offers relief from the impersonal assault of contemporary pop culture.
  18. The Iron Ministry
    Though J.P. Sniadecki doesn't elucidate any broad structural motive, his film gradually adopts an engrossing rhythm among its clatter of steel and ambient chatter.
  19. Boys Go to Jupiter
    Julian Glander powerfully channeling the ennui of his characters with images of everything from vacant parking lots to empty swimming pools.
  20. Spencer
    Pablo Larraín’s film readily conjures a paranoia-suffused atmosphere of fear for what might happen at any moment.
  21. The Image Book
    It’s through exercising a certain kind of madness that the film connects even at its most disjointed.
  22. The Revenant
    What pushes the film, at long last, into the icy river, is its very design, as a monument to slick, mercenary grandeur.
  23. The Kingmaker
    The film confirms that the ruthless knack of the wealthy and powerful to remain so is a universal impulse.
  24. Incredible But True
    Quentin Dupieux’s latest endlessly draws out every stilted interaction for maximum deadpan effect.
  25. 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.
  26. Night Across the Street
    It's a final film in the specific sense of Raúl Ruiz designing the larger part of it around a metaphorical contemplation of his own, imminent demise.
  27. La Piscine
    La Piscine is, more than anything else, a work of vivid sensory delights.
  28. No Sudden Move
    With One Sudden Move, Steven Soderbergh mixes an old-school 1950s noir with a modern sense of social self-consciousness.
  29. Safe
    We know nothing of this woman’s inner-traumas, the repressed memories or hidden pains of her youth, yet Moore, in an extraordinary milestone performance, gives us a glimpse inside Carol’s frail and lonely soul.
  30. Sisu: Road to Revenge
    Much of Road to Revenge plays like a spectacularly gory silent film, with Aatami taking out scores of Red Army soldiers in action scenes that are as inventive as they are incredibly funny.
