  1. Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami
    Bloodlight and Bami defiantly reflects the experimental whirlwind of Jones’s existence: her ability to look and feel relevant decades since she started out.
  2. A House of Dynamite
    Those first 40-odd minutes are unbearably tense. Ferguson is a standout in a strong ensemble cast
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Great Flood
    The flood images are stark, conveying all the terror and pity that modern disaster footage imparts. But Morrison and Frisell infuse the film with warmth and, where appropriate, a touch of wit, causing its subject to breathe anew.
  4. Omar
    Bakri has charisma to burn, but the complexity of Abu-Assad’s previous movies is traded in for weak genre thrills.

    Manhunter
    One of the most impressive American thrillers of the late '80s.
  6. Titane
    Will it polarise moviegoers? Absolutely. But while it’s perhaps not as laser-focused as Raw, once seen Titane is impossible to dislodge – another gut punch from a director who will hopefully be unleashing her pulverising, punky visions on cinema screens for years to come. Strap in.

    Fail-Safe
    Eclipsed by its contemporary, Dr Strangelove, Fail Safe eschews the former's black humour and opts for a deadly serious mix of cold-war melodrama and rampant psychosis.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Ivanhoe
    The dialogue and script are fatuously Americanised from Scott's original, but these chivalric Hollywood sagas still have a strange poetic quality about them, perhaps partly because of the way they unscrupulously and inaccurately ransacked literature and history for ideas and images.
  9. The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes
    With a stunning score by Miklós Rozsa, carefully modulated performances, lush location photography, and perfect sets by Trauner, it is Wilder's least embittered film and by far his most moving.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII
    The film may be a brilliant visual record of the Floyd playing, but sadly the music works on you more if you just close your eyes.
  11. Kidnapped: The Abduction of Edgardo Mortara
    If Kidnapped aims to dive into the subconscious of its characters, it gets stuck on the surface.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Frozen
    Frozen has tunes and darkness. But most satisfying is a formula-defying finale that subverts fairytale status quo.
    • 75 Metascore

    They Died with Their Boots On
    Absolutely irresistible.
    • 75 Metascore

    What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
    Though far from Aldrich’s best, it still makes for an amusing and enjoyable romp, with Davis’s schizophrenic ravings deepened by the poignant awareness the director shows of loss, ageing and faded glory.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Longest Day
    High on noise, spectacle and heroism as the Allies invade Normandy, generally strong on performances and humour, but still over-long and laden with the usual national stereotypes.
  16. True History of the Kelly Gang
    It’s all heading somewhere special as Kelly muses on masculinity and colonialism, but then coherence gives way to flashy visuals and bursts of expressionistic violence.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
    Edward Albee's vitriolic stage portrayal of domestic blisslessness translated grainily and effectively to the screen. Taylor gives what is probably her finest performance as the blowsy harridan Martha.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Prodigal Sons
    Instead of pushing deeper into any psychological dilemmas, this dirty-laundry doc gets lost in a sensationalistic flurry driven by a serious emotional unraveling.
  19. The Skeleton Twins
    It helps that Milo (Hader) and Maggie (Wiig) are cranky adult siblings, sharing a whip-crack shorthand that longtime skit partners know how to muster effortlessly.
  20. Oklahoma City
    You must see Oklahoma City, if only to know the enemy. They’re not stuck at the airport.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Rachel, Rachel
    While in no way as powerful as Barbara Loden's Wanda, Newman's film none the less captures the quiet desperation of enforced life in sleepytown America.
  22. Terribly Happy
    The film is vigorous exercise for those who prefer their mysteries knowing and knotty.
  23. Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present
    Rare is the profile that captures so much oddness with so little judgment. You owe yourself a chance to be challenged.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    They Cloned Tyrone
    Far from a clone of its Blaxploitation predecessors, Taylor’s exhilarating debut taps into the conspiracy theorist within us all.
  25. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
    What begins as a spirited but safely familiar pastiche of John Hughes and Wes Anderson is compelled to become its own thing, Gomez-Rejon’s film embracing the most tired tropes of stereotypical YA weepies so that it can kiss them goodbye.
  26. Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon
    Tirola’s punchy timeline hits the breaks at the ’80s flameout, wobbling in its handling of self-destructive editor Doug Kenney. But until the defunct Lampoon starts magically reappearing in your mailbox, this excellently titled pic will do nicely.
  27. The Woodmans
    If The Woodmans has something profound to say-and it does, unwittingly-it's that art can't raise a child solo.
  28. Found Memories
    Brazilian filmmaker Júlia Murat's first narrative feature is a mesmerizing, slow-build marvel.
  29. 78/52: Hitchcock’s Shower Scene
    It’s a film class, yes, but the most invigorating one you’ll take.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The Green Pastures
    It has enormous charm in its folklorish fancies, and a performance of great gentleness and good humour from Ingram which is never tainted by the mawkish religiosity that creeps in towards the end. What is offensive is the way in which the depths of plangent suffering that inspired the spirituals are totally ignored.
