| 100% | John Leguizamo's Latin History for Morons (2018) |
Leguizamo is so at ease on the stage, you can't help but wonder why he doesn't do this every day. He jumps from joke to joke... recounting incredibly tender moments in Latinx history with a deftness that still feels entirely spontaneous. ‐ Pajiba

| 81% | Her Smell (2018) |
Her Smell is a lot to deal with. It's long, loud, abrasive, and often super messy. Then again, it seems unlikely the film could ever have been anything else, not if it wanted to stay faithful to the ugly truth.‐ Pajiba

| 67% | Teen Spirit (2018) |
Teen Spirit won't change your world but it will give it some light for 90 minutes, and in dark times, there's an immense appeal to a simple story of a girl who loves pop music.‐ Pajiba

| 79% | Hotel Mumbai (2019) |
In many ways, Hotel Mumbai is a best case scenario for a film like this: A tightly constructed piece of film-making that's truly human and avoids tired Hollywood pitfalls.‐ Pajiba

| 75% | Jeremiah Terminator LeRoy (2018) |
Jeremiah Terminator LeRoy should be much stranger than it is, and it could certainly stand to be more brutal towards its subjects, but it offers an entertaining primer on the JT LeRoy story for the uninitiated.‐ Pajiba

| 60% | Vita & Virginia (2018) |
There are not enough wonderful things to be said about Elizabeth Debicki. ‐ Pajiba

| 98% | Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018) |
What surprised most about Can You Ever Forgive Me? is its quiet and radical queerness.‐ Pajiba

| 90% | Giant Little Ones (2018) |
Giant Little Ones has a sharpness about it that seems at odds with how tender much of its storytelling is. It captures that unique dichotomy of adolescence where everything is simultaneously the best and worst it will ever be. ‐ Pajiba

| 82% | Destroyer (2018) |
Kidman dominates Destroyer and helps that film work in so many ways, although its bare bones and Kusama's direction also leave it a sturdy enough creation to stand on its own two feet.‐ Pajiba

| 85% | The Sisters Brothers (2018) |
It's clear why [John C. Reilly] prized this story so much, as the role of Eli Sisters finally gives him something worthy of his sinfully underrated talents. ‐ Pajiba

| 90% | A Star Is Born (2018) |
The film is a proper double hander, divided between Gaga and Cooper, but it also provides an excellent platform for Cooper to show off all the directorial tricks he's picked up from his long acting career. ‐ Pajiba

| 64% | Peterloo (2019) |
The detail is truly exhaustive. It's unclear if the film covers literally every detail leading up to the massacre but it wouldn't be surprising in the least to hear that it did. However, this approach entirely purposeful. ‐ Pajiba

| 63% | Outlaw King (2018) |
There are moments of such directorial confidence - a totally showboating opening scene seemingly done in one take sticks out - that you can't help but wonder if those future Bond director rumours are totally true. ‐ Pajiba

| 86% | Loro (2019) |
Loro is unwieldy, immensely fun, kind of a drag and not as deep as it thinks it is. In essence, it's an ideal take on Berlusconi.‐ Pajiba

| 93% | First Reformed (2018) |
First Reformed is a serious movie that demands serious focus, and in a year where there's such hunger for pop culture that speaks of our times, Paul Schrader may do it better than anyone else.‐ Pajiba

| 99% | McQueen (2018) |
Even if you don't care all that much about fashion, McQueen is very much worth your time.‐ Pajiba

| 100% | Hannah Gadsby: Nanette (2018) |
I truly hope Hannah Gadsby doesn't quit comedy. The obvious irony of Nanette is that her finale has given her that push into mainstream attention and near-universal critical adoration. ‐ Pajiba
