  1. Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical
    The triumph of Matilda, both as Dahl wrote it and as it’s interpreted here, is that one little girl finally finds her place among people who understand her. This is a story about the family you choose, versus the one you were born into. And for some people, the chosen family is the one that makes all the difference.
  2. Dead Ringers
    At times Dead Ringers also tilts out of coherence, with scenes that are dramatically stillborn. But Irons is splendid in both roles, and Cronenberg can create tour-de-force tableaux with his effortless black magic. [26 Sept 1988]

  3. S1m0ne
    Simone is a funny, smart, improbably successful satire on contemporary celebrity obsessions, the waning summer's most delirious comedy.
  4. Gloomy Sunday
    The film is high romance, rather like those American movies of the 1940s -- people snatching at happiness in a world aflame. We don't make them anymore -- stupid us --but we ought to be glad someone does.
  5. The Half of It
    It’s sweet and funny, but also, in places, as raw as a scraped knee.
  6. The Lobster
    Somehow, it works, thanks largely to Farrell.
  7. The Way Back
    The overall metaphor Weir was aiming for - this idea of enemies so powerful and a war so menacing and confusingly big that no place seems safe except a place absurdly far away - comes through clearly and stays with you.
  8. A Secret Love
    When you look at the faces of the elderly Donahue and Henschel, even at their most frail, the young women within shine through. It’s enraging that society made them feel they had to hide. But their happiness is the ultimate triumph.

    Being There
    Here is a comedy that valiantly defies both gravity and the latest Hollywood fashion.

    I Know Where I'm Going!
    The film is an achievement in civilized comedy; even in its grave and noble moments it preserves a graceful, tender gaiety.

    Rachel, Rachel
    It is in the transcendent strength of Joanne Woodward that the film achieves a classic stature. There is no gesture too minor for her to master.
  12. Sicko
    As both harangue and movie tragicomedy, Sicko is socko.
  13. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
    Enjoy the savory witches' brew that Cuaron has cooked up in his Harry pot. For on its own terms, this one is truly wizard.
  14. Crazy, Stupid, Love
    The movie's biggest surprise is the revelation of Gosling as cunning comedian.
  15. Treasure Planet
    Take a while to get their vehicle to sail and soar. But when it does, this Planet is a treasure.
  16. Goodbye Lenin!
    A romantic comedy so smart and sweetly mature, it's liberating.
  17. Mission: Impossible – Fallout
    Mission: Impossible—Fallout may be the best Mission: Impossible movie since the first, made in the dawn of the cat-Internet age, 1996, by Brian De Palma. Or perhaps it’s just the one with the mostest: even by the franchise’s extravagant standards, Fallout throws off Hope-diamond levels of grandeur.
  18. Body Heat
    Body Heat is full of meaty characters and pungent performances...a film to be seen at a drive-in, on a heavy summer night, with someone you trust.
  19. The Hand of God
    The Hand of God is a lovely film, occasionally oddball in the best way, and astute in the way it handles tragedy and loss.
  20. Shuang long hui
    The real fun is in seeing Hong Kong pop cinema at its innocent, crowd-pleasing best. And for Jackie, that goes double.
  21. Welcome to the Dollhouse
    Solondz observes all this activity from an objectifying distance, very much the anthropologist trekking through the heart of darkness

    A Little Romance
    Director George Roy Hill (Butch Cassidy, The Sting) and Screenwriter Allan Burns (cocreator of TV's original Mary Tyler Moore Show) have constructed a romantic comedy that, for all its contrivances, offers an indecent amount of emotional and comic satisfaction.
  23. Battle of the Sexes
    The performances in Battle of the Sexes, agile and perceptive, keep the game alive every minute.
  24. Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle
    After “The Matrix Reloaded” and “The Hulk,” there's something refreshing about this movie's complete lack of intellectual pretense.
  25. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
    I finished Larsson's novel with the uncomfortable sense it used a good mystery as an excuse to dwell on sadism and perversity -- an aspect only exacerbated on screen.
  26. Clear and Present Danger
    The movie has two other qualities you don't always find in films of this kind: a sense of humor and a sense of character. [15 August 1994, p. 61]

  27. Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story
    This may seem too inside-cricket for a U.S. audience. And it's true that Cock and Bull is so postpostmodern, it's very nearly postmovie. But it's no less diverting for all that. It would be a shame if the great novel no one has read becomes the terrific film nobody bothers to see.
  28. Good One
    Collias captures something gossamer here, a quiet shift into adult womanhood that happens, literally, overnight.
  29. The Brutalist
    The Brutalist is a kind of crazy space church, designed specifically for the communal moviegoing experience. It's a place to gather and give thanks.
  30. The Room Next Door
    The colors of The Room Next Door are its secret message, a language of pleasure and beauty that reminds us how great it is to be alive. If it’s possible to make a joyful movie about death, Almodóvar has just done it.
