  1. Step
    If the formula feels familiar, the girls’ personalities obliterate any chance of tedium, with Broadway producer-turned-director Amanda Lipitz providing sensitive insight into their home lives while capturing the toe-tapping with joyful aplomb.
  2. Fair Play
    Domont is too smart to go full Fatal Attraction, largely restricting the violence in the piece to the emotional and the verbal.
  3. Department Q: The Keeper of Lost Causes
    While the plot toys with credibility, director Mikkel Nørgaard ( Borgen ) conjures a squalid atmosphere – the stuff of real nightmares. This is so grimly compelling that even if you want to look away, you won’t be able to.
  4. Young & Beautiful
    Ozon keeps the melodrama at bay to deliver a typically subversive study of growing pains. And in Vacth he’s found a real star-in-waiting.
  5. Tom of Finland
    If the imagery is less racy than TOF fans may be used to, Pekka Strang’s quiet turn as Laaksonen has a simmering power.
  6. Paddington In Peru
    Antonio Banderas chews scenery with varying results but Olivia Colman is pitch-perfect as the all-singing all-dancing Reverend Mother. Paddington's latest adventure may be the weakest of the films so far but it remains a total delight.
  7. Deadpool 2
    This is the rare comedy sequel that doesn’t just equal the original: it betters it, with bells and ball-sacks on.
  8. Wonder Woman
    Gadot is a godsend, Pine charms, and Jenkins delivers old-school thrills with heart and conviction.
  9. Nosferatu the Vampyre
    Madness and death hang over Herzog’s Wagner-scored vision like a black cloud, while Kinski adds much poignancy to Dracula, the lonely immortal.
  10. Free Guy
    Warm and witty, Free Guy is expertly crafted disposable fun. And right now, that feels essential.
  11. Monkey Man
    A savage triumph.

    Kirikou and the Sorceress
    Utterly enthralling, Kirikou And The Sorceress may be modest by Hollywood standards, but it has an enormous heart. Disney, please take note.
    • 67 Metascore

    Freaky
    An unexpected delight thanks to its two leads and expertly executed action.
  14. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
    Despite suffering from middle-act wobbles, The Desolation Of Smaug nevertheless delivers rousing action, incredible visuals and one stupendous dragon.
  15. Ghost Stories
    Bone-chillingly told and beautifully made, Ghost Stories is an expert twist on an evergreen genre.
  16. The Hunt
    Vinterberg keeps us guessing right up to and after an end shot that suggests how tough some viral rumours are to shake off.
  17. Man of Steel
    A bracing attempt to bring the legend back into contention that successfully separates itself from other Super-movies but misses some of their warmth and charm. But given the craft and class, this could be the start of something special
  18. The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Mäki
    Shot with a retro chic, their courtship is crisp, but there’s enough grit in this Cannes prize-winner to stop it floating away.
  19. American Fiction
    Despite the slightly uneven pacing, Wright’s sturdy performance keeps things on an even keel. The result is a fiendishly sharp poke at questionable notions of Black representation in the modern world.
  20. Nostalgia for the Light
    Drawing on the testimonies of some fascinating interviewees, and filled with dazzling digital images of galaxies and landscapes, it’s a film that makes you ponder the mysteries of human existence anew.
  21. Queen & Slim
    Daniel Kaluuya is the motor for this lyrical but hard-hitting road-movie, fuelled by fury and frustration.
  22. American Hustle
    With the entire cast on their A-game, depths are found in characters that could’ve easily been caricatures.
  23. All Is Lost
    With no 3D, no friends and no hope, Redford and Chandor show how survivalist instincts can stoke thrilling, thoughtful cinema. If Gravity grabbed you, hop aboard and hold tight.
  24. Us
    Peele doubles down on his genre love with a flawed but full-bore frightener, ripe for debate. Nyong’o is incendiary.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Great Escape
    A fun, heart-warming adventure.
  26. Blackfish
    Like a more obvious underwater twist on Herzog’s "Grizzly Man," Blackfish presents a persuasive, passionate argument: wild nature’s right to freedom demands respect, cock and all.
  27. Polite Society
    What holds everything together and stops the film from sliding into a winking spoof is the intensity of newcomer Kansara’s performance. Her obsessive Ria drives the movie’s frantic pace with sheer willpower and scrappy physical courage
  28. The Program
    This fearless reconstruction drives home the dark lie that Lance Armstrong lived – it’s just a pity it doesn’t dig a little deeper.
  29. Split
    This is a Shyamalan movie through and through. And it’s his best in some time, thanks to a magnetic McAvoy.
  30. Dark River
    Rural life is familiar terrain for British cinema, but with Barnard as our guide, it remains an enthralling destination.
