  1. Red Rooms
    Red Rooms interrogates how the only thing preventing someone from being sucked down a moral whirlpool is to catch sight of their own zombified reflection on their computer screen.
  2. The Mother of All Lies
    Through her use of recreation, Asmae El Moudir suggests that the act of documentary filmmaking can turn historical truths into fiction, in which everyone becomes an active participant.
  3. Return to Dust
    The film is best in moments when the bond between two outcasts is made corporeal and fully present.
  4. Ernest and Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia
    A unique joie de vivre courses through A Trip to Gibberitia’s every meticulously composed frame.
  5. Madeleine Collins
    Seemingly channeling the spirit of Claude Chabrol, Antoine Barraud’s Madeleine Collins is a decidedly classy throwback thriller about a seemingly humdrum character committing perverse acts of subterfuge against others.
  6. The Iron Claw
    With scalpel-like precision, the film exposes the agonies of fathers, sons, and brothers.
  7. They Died with Their Boots On
    Even if historical erroneousness intermittently undermines the film’s outlandish attempts at lionization, They Died with Their Boots On endures as one of the finest Flynn-de Havilland collaborations, providing a grand stage for the duo’s playful, poignant rapport.
  8. Venom: The Last Dance
    As the film progresses, it consistently escalates the stakes and scale of its action, which doesn’t devolve into incomprehensible CG murk as it hurtles toward the climax.
  9. Coup de Chance
    The film is at once among Woody Allen’s most economical works and one of his most free-spirited.
  10. Wings
    Seen today, Wings impresses mostly with its enormous scale—its appearance of having been made with obscene amounts of money.
  11. Evil Does Not Exist
    Hamaguchi Ryûsuke’s Evil Does Not Exist is a turn away from the filmmaker’s empathy of his earlier work toward an aesthetic that’s jagged and chilly.
  12. AGGRO DR1FT
    It may indeed be the perfect cinematic representation of our current media landscape, adapting to our collective brain rot from being terminally online instead of fighting against it.
  13. Once Within a Time
    The film proposes that, in the search for viable alternatives to techno-fascism and climate apocalypse, we might look to the margins of our world, to unfulfilled experiments (including those of cinema) and cultures supposedly left behind by history.
  14. June Zero
    June Zero is a tender, if sometimes cynical, portrait of a new country on old land struggling through the growing pains of establishing its presence both to the international community and its own people.
  15. The Promised Land
    Even when it’s painting its story in broad strokes, the film plays expertly to audience emotion.
  16. Remembering Every Night
    The film is a gentle evocation of contemporary Japanese life in its pleasures and frustrations.
  17. Ryuichi Sakamoto | Opus
    Under Sora Neo’s direction, each number becomes a mini-study of Sakamoto and the grand piano he plays on.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Hit Man
    Many of Richard Linklater’s films are united by their celebration of the pretentious in its etymological meaning of “playing pretend.” With Hit Man, he and Glenn Powell take this further by demonstrating that acting isn’t just entertainment or art—it’s also a fundamental part of our lives.
  19. The Royal Hotel
    In this film of clammy anxiety, the potential of male violence is made to feel as scary as the actual article.
  20. Thanksgiving
    This Thanksgiving is a slasher for today, slickly made, coolly mean, and with a satiric bite.
  21. Janet Planet
    Annie Baker’s spare dialogue style remains intact, with each line revealing of character and mood.
  22. Godzilla Minus One
    For all the unbridled destruction, Godzilla Minus One remains perversely light and fun, a Roland Emmerich-like disaster flick helmed by an actual talent.
  23. When Evil Lurks
    Demián Rugna’s harrowing film spares no one from the cruelty of its world.
  24. Dream Scenario
    Kristoffer Borgli’s film presents a perfectly absurdist setup that allows Nicolas Cage to flex his singular acting muscles in increasingly hilarious directions.
  25. Waitress: The Musical
    The film accomplishes its principal goal of capturing Sara Bareilles’s spectacular take on Jenna Hunterson, especially in its close-ups of the singer-songwriter.
  26. His Three Daughters
    His Three Daughters sneaks up on you, for as chatty, monologue-forward as Jacobs’s screenplay may be, it conveys so much through absence and suggestion.
  27. The Monk and the Gun
    The film pulls off something truly bold: taking what are perhaps the most emotionally and symbolically loaded items in existence and subverting their meaning completely to end on a note of peace, joy, and hope for the future.
  28. She Is Conann
    Decadent, hermetic, and gleefully hostile to realism, Bertrand Mandico’s film is the cinematic equivalent of a French Symbolist poem.
  29. Mountains
    Mountains interprets leisure not so much as the opposite of work or struggle, but a stance that can and should suffuse each moment of life, not discounting those we sell to make a living.
  30. The Human Surge 3
    While its globe-trotting sense of wonder shows the joys of offline existence to be as profound and vivid as they ever were, its simultaneous sense of boundless possibility and stagnant futility recalls nothing so much as the chaotic, alienating realm of cyberspace that both birthed and shaped it.
