Eighth Grade (2018)
With age comes wisdom and growth, and Burnham is the one of the least likely people to have created a gentle, contemporary, surprising look at teen girlhood, but here we are.

The Crescent (2017)
The Crescent is a classic slow-burn horror creeper with a divisive ending that will make you want to go back for a second look

Three Identical Strangers (2018)
Three Identical Strangers is really a science film wrapped in a nearly unbelievable story about humanity. Wardle's shrewd handling of the material...keeps you guessing.

Leave No Trace (2018)
Granik has created a breakout role for McKenzie... Hers is a name you will hear a lot of from now on.

Nobody Famous (2017)
Rotella has assembled an excellent cast, especially Giovanni as the thirsty fame whore and Nelson as the Jennifer Lawrence-in-waiting.

Disobedience (2018)
Disobedience is not a wholly satisfactory experience, but it is always a joy to see two actors on the same level lean into the nuances of the human heart.

In the Fade (Aus dem Nichts) (2017)
Diane Kruger puts in a largely overlooked career-best performance in In the Fade.

The Spectacular Now (2013)
A beautiful rarity of a coming-of-age story.

Battle of the Year (2013)
Proof that any movie can get made somehow.

Enough Said (2013)
Gandolfini as a romantic lead is a curveball that works.

Moneyball (2011)
It's mostly the Pitt show.

The Descendants (2011)
For all of Clooney's coasting modes---arrogant, smug, debonair---it appears he's at his best when hapless and floundering. It looks good on him.

Friends With Kids (2012)
Blends the disparate tones---dirty, sweet, funny and flailing---into a largely compelling, wholly watchable modern movie.

Black Swan (2010)
Perhaps if Black Swan were animated, it might not come off so ludicrously.

Blue Valentine (2010)
As adult relationship dramas go [...] you've not seen something as rich, nuanced and true as Blue Valentine in a very long while.

Outside In (2018)
Falco is aces at this kind of performance-though it's quieter than we've seen her in a long time-and Duplass, who co-wrote the movie, nearly sags with sadness.

Love, Simon (2018)
It's more like a John Hughes film than a Sundance circuit piece, squarely in the middle, just like Simon. That doesn't make it any less special.

Call Me by Your Name (2018)
What could be dismissed as experimentation is instead framed with care and kindness as a first love, woozy and meaningful, bringing this fantasy world somewhere universal.

mother! (2017)
Not since Scream 2 has a movie with a top-secret plot made you feel so dumb for ever caring.

Ingrid Goes West (2017)
[Aubrey] Plaza abandons her trademark deadpan to offer up a scarily out-of-control woman and it's electrifying to watch.

Lady Macbeth (2017)
[William] Oldroyd asks a lot of the relatively inexperienced [Florence] Pugh, and she nails it, a box of steely reserve constantly threatened with toppling.
