  1. Identity
    Something fresh, clever and confident.
  2. It Runs in the Family
    Schmaltzy.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Winged Migration
    Mysteries still surround many aspects of bird migration. This film unravels exactly none of them. Rather, in some of the most remarkable footage you'll ever see, the film lets you look over the shoulders of migrating birds.
  4. Lilya 4-Ever
    Lilya's struggle to make a life for herself is both heartbreaking and heart-stirring.
  5. Malibu's Most Wanted
    Wanted isn't quite the real Slim Shady of hip-hop comedies. But you might lose yourself in a few of its amusing moments.
  6. Love and Diane
    It is a movie about the real challenge of heroism.
  7. A Mighty Wind
    There's an extra dimension here, not present in the other comedies. Not only is the material amusing, it's charmingly engaging.
  8. Bulletproof Monk
    It never makes much sense.
  9. Chasing Papi
    So resoundingly awful, there may be grounds to sue for mental suffering.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    XX/XY
    Anyone who's ever sat through a Neil LaBute film knows you can make a movie in which all the characters are unsympathetic, but this trio is uninteresting, to boot.
  11. Better Luck Tomorrow
    Although this movie shows Lin's promising moviemaking sensibilities, its point of view feels coldly amoral and dismissive.
  12. Anger Management
    It's a remarkable, if appalling, spectacle of self-abasement. But of course, that's Sandler's specialty.
  13. DysFunktional Family
    Wickedly funny.
  14. The Man Without a Past
    It's a gentle, surprising little movie whose rewards lie in what its characters don't say as much as in what they do.
  15. Phone Booth
    What keeps Phone Booth going, despite its premise, is the acting and the writing, both of which are top-notch.
  16. What a Girl Wants
    It's uninspired and insipid all the way.
  17. Levity
    So solemnly paced and deliberately performed that it seems to solidify before your very eyes.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    A Man Apart
    It really should be arrested for impersonating an interesting movie.
  19. Cowboy Bebop the Movie: Knockin' on Heaven's Door
    The atmospherics are wonderfully dark and film-noirish, if overly violent.
  20. Cet amour-là
    There is one reason, and one reason alone, to watch Cet Amour-La. It is Jeanne Moreau.
  21. Fellini: I'm a Born Liar
    And if the movie's not particularly visual -- apart from the excerpted scenes from Fellini's extremely visual films -- it's entertaining for the ears. Fellini talks and talks. And like many directors, he talks a good life.
  22. The Good Thief
    In the end, what started off as playful becomes tedious.
  23. Stevie
    By the film's self-congratulatory final shot, Stevie has become less a portrait of a sorry young man's difficult life than the story of auteurist arrogance and self-deception run amok.
