  1. Made in Dagenham
    Engrossing and inspiring, despite being the kind of movie in which one of the first words you hear is cheeky.
  2. Tabloid
    Plays like a vacation at a seedy seaside resort. The issue at hand - whether McKinney engaged in criminal behavior with Anderson - is of little moment; what's important is the personality of the lady in question.
  3. Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
    It's a pretty, high-strung story, handsomely done in traditional animation (mostly by hand) that you can take the kids to without wincing.

    The Devils
    It is like a lunatic opera, an attempt to make a furious poem out of frenzy. Russell's flamboyant theatricality and his interest in the perverse have been too much imposed on his other films; but here, style and subject are perfectly matched. The film does not work as drama. But as a glimpse of hell it is superbly, frighteningly effective.
  5. Doctor Strange
    Doctor Strange has one significant quality that most Marvel adaptations lack: A sense of humor about itself, which it wears as lightly as the most gossamer Cloak of Levitation.
  6. Dances with Wolves
    It would be nice, for instance, to meet some white man, other than Dunbar [Costner], who is not a brutish lout. And it would not harm the film if there were one or two bad-natured Sioux visible in it. [12 Nov 1990, p.102]

  7. JCVD
    Van Damme has been known as a martial-arts legend, movie star and pain in the ass. But never an actor -- until now.
  8. Captain Fantastic
    So where’s the line between rigid parental standards and possible abuse? Captain Fantastic crab-walks tentatively toward that question, and even though its conclusion feels rushed, the movie still works as a portrait of an unorthodox family that’s well adjusted in its own odd way.
  9. The Piano Lesson
    The film’s rhythms occasionally falter—this is Malcolm Washington’s feature debut, and it's an ambitious project for a beginner. But the inherent strength of the material always shines through, largely thanks to Deadwyler.

    The Invisible Woman
    In a way, she gives voice to everything an audience might fantasize about saying to a belittling authority figure, whether it’s a boss, policeman or teacher.
  11. Perfect Sense
    What's unusual about the sometimes screwy but mostly smart and always heartfelt Perfect Sense - is its search for a middle ground.
  12. Britney Vs. Spears
    Carr’s account is strongest in shining light on the early years of the conservatorship while elegantly steering away from the exploitative images of Britney—shaving her head, or getting strapped to a gurney—that sold magazines in the late ’00s.
  13. Safety Not Guaranteed
    Touching, generous, sweet, this little slip of a movie puts you under some kind of spell.

    Some Like It Hot
    Lipsticked, mascaraed and tilting at a precarious angle ("How do they walk in these things?"), Actor Lemmon digs out most of the laughs in the script. As for Marilyn, she's been trimmer, slimmer and sexier in earlier pictures.
  15. When You Finish Saving the World
    Eisenberg is a thoughtful filmmaker, devoted to showing his characters as multi-dimensional, flawed human beings.
  16. The Debt
    The Debt is a little too gray and stolid - by which we may simply mean too true to its complex milieu - to qualify as scintillating entertainment. But at the end of a summer in which anything like reality was banned from movie houses, this gnarly political thriller has a tonic effect
  17. Trouble with the Curve
    If the modest and moving Trouble With the Curve won't overwhelm anybody, it's still an engaging winner, like a junk-ball pitcher who stays in the bigs on grit and heart.
  18. Fast & Furious 6
    Furious 6 is even cooler and more aerodynamically delirious than its predecessor, if such a thing is even theoretically possible.
  19. Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel
    The mind may clamor for more, but the eye, traveling over this visual history of Diana Vreeland, is pleased.
  20. My Week with Marilyn
    Williams locates a central truth, the contradictory allure of this utterly impossible woman - mercurial, vain, foolish, but also intelligent in some very primal way and achingly vulnerable.
  21. Observe and Report
    A feel-good ending is mandatory, even in a comedy like this, which promises to be transgressive because it's the first major-studio job for a director with an underground reputation for being crazy-bold.
  22. Me Before You
    Cheerful and efficient, this is the stripey tights of melodramas.
  23. Broken Arrow
    The audience gets as pulverizing a workout as the stars do. Or rather, the stars' stunt doubles, who deserve Oscars for best supporting masochism.
  24. A Dangerous Method
    In his third consecutive Cronenberg film (after playing the righteous killers of A History of Violence and Eastern Promises), Mortensen is a happy surprise. Never has this tightly-wound actor seemed so relaxed in a difficult role; he is the charming papa Jung hates to overthrow but knows he must.

    Trainwreck
    In the way of most Apatow films, Trainwreck is a little too long, a little too shaggy and a little too conservative in insisting that all’s square in love and war.
  26. The Muppets
    During the movie's best moments, I recalled exactly what my long-gone father's roars of laughter sounded like. Was it the joyous lunacy of "Mahnamahna" that used to set him off?
  27. Freakonomics
    Documentaries don't fly on figures, or even controversial arguments; they come to life with real, engaging people. And when this freakumentary hooks up with Urail King, it gets an A.
  28. The Alamo
    Politics aside, this is a handsome film with orange skies to die for, or under, and a lovely score by Carter Burwell. The picture has some ponderous and snooze-worthy stretches, but it attains a certain melancholic grandeur, with the actors and crew fighting as desperately as Crockett and Bowie to make the best of a fated adventure.
  29. The King of Staten Island
    Loose-jointed and openhearted, a wink of reassurance in our age of anxiety, it’s that rare comedy that may actually play better in the living room than it does in the theater.
  30. The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
    Sharing its subject's virtues, it is a lovely addition to the annals of the Greatest Generation.
