  1. Mickey 17
    The time may feel right for a wry dystopian sci-fi adventure-comedy. But as satires go, this one is more mild than habanero.
  2. Black Bag
    Black Bag succeeds on its chilly wit, and on the cool, nervy appeal of its two stars. Blanchett strides through the movie with lioness grace; Fassbender makes George’s robotic use of logic seem like an aphrodisiac.
  3. Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy
    There’s something safe and cozy about Mad About the Boy that made me long for the unruliness of the first film.
  4. You're Cordially Invited
    In an age of chaos, what we really need is focus, and You’re Cordially Invited chases down every distraction in sight.
  5. Presence
    Presence follows you home, long after the camera has stopped rolling.
  6. A Complete Unknown
    There’s something about A Complete Unknown that pushes against traditional Dylan worship and cuts a path toward something far more beautiful, flawed, and human.
  7. Babygirl
    No matter what you take away from writer-director Halina Reijn’s daring, alluring, and ultimately joyful Babygirl, one idea flutters around it like a potent perfume cloud: both desire and the memory of it are what make us feel alive.
  8. Nickel Boys
    Nickel Boys is a picture on the move, a work that’s traveling forward, the thing we always ask for yet often don’t know how to accept when it arrives.
  9. Hard Truths
    That’s the magic of Leigh; it’s white magic, not the dark kind, drawing out compassion we almost don’t want to feel.
  10. 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.
  11. Gladiator II
    Even if Gladiator II is essentially an unapologetic retread of its predecessor, all of these actors are fun to watch—though none stands taller, literally or figuratively, than Denzel Washington, as slave-turned-schemer Macrinus.
  12. Wicked
    For a movie whose chief anthem is an advertisement for the joys of defying gravity, Wicked is surprisingly leaden, with a promise of more of the same to come.
  13. Emilia Pérez
    Now that those rights are even more imperiled than before, a movie like Emilia Pérez—one that, instead of pleading for trans acceptance merely treats it as a given—feels even more like movie fireworks, fierce and glorious, a radical act of the imagination with kindness in its heart.

    A Real Pain
    Somehow, it just sprang from Eisenberg’s heart and quietly formidable brain, and the effect is close to miraculous.
  15. Blitz
    This is a movie about the way resilience can blossom from vulnerability. No child asks to be a victim of war; sometimes survival, with your soul intact, is the best possible outcome.
  16. Conclave
    In Berger’s hands, it all works a treat, right up to the movie’s shockeroo surprise ending. Berger’s 2022 All Quiet on the Western Front won the Best International Feature Oscar, and he guides this film, too, with a sure and steady hand.
  17. We Live in Time
    We need good melodramas, especially ones with elements of romantic comedy built in, and I wanted to love We Live in Time. But its cracks kept coming to the fore.
  18. The Outrun
    This is a story about a seemingly unforgiving landscape that’s actually giving back every minute, once Rona reopens herself to its windswept language.
  19. Joker: Folie à Deux
    Intentions don’t equal fully fledged works, and Folie à Deux stumbles on nearly all fronts. Even if the movie’s ambitions are admirable, you might end up too bored to care.
  20. A Different Man
    It’s worth seeing A Different Man for the two performances at its heart, given by Adam Pearson and Sebastian Stan.
  21. My Old Ass
    My Old Ass is a bit crazy. It’s also winning, in the gentlest, sweetest way.
  22. His Three Daughters
    There are whispers of Chekhov and Shakespeare in His Three Daughters; both of those writers knew a thing or two about the fractiousness, and the durability, of sisterly connections.
  23. Queer
    Though Guadagnino is a gifted director, his style is sometimes showily baroque to a fault. (Exhibit A: Suspiria.) But Queer, stylish as it is, may be his most heartfelt movie, at least since Call Me By Your Name.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
  26. Maria
    Maria is a movie made with great respect, almost adulation, but very little that qualifies as real feeling.
  27. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
    Burton has just allowed himself to be silly and have fun; Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is filled with low-stakes wisecracks and kindergarten-style one-liners, but the effect works. The movie carries you along on its wriggling magic carpet of mayhem—and features one sequence of creepy-elegant-funny cracked poetry that’s classic, old-school Burton.
  28. Good One
    Collias captures something gossamer here, a quiet shift into adult womanhood that happens, literally, overnight.
  29. It Ends with Us
    Movies can’t just be efficient feeling-delivery systems; they have to work on us in subtler ways. It Ends With Us makes all its points, all right, but in a way that’s more edifying than moving. And despite the prettiness of its Boston setting, it isn’t as visually alluring as it should be.
  30. Trap
    Trap isn’t the worst Shyamalan movie; no one would say it’s the best. It's suspended somewhere in the murky middle, but at the very least it has an amiable goofiness.
