A film staged, shot, and scored as a ghost story infused by a gothic atmosphere. Joanna Hogg avoids obvious jump scares while sustaining an unsettling environment.

This restrained biopic is one of the most thoughtful to come out of Hollywood in recent years.

An elevated horror movie that’s also a burning romance, enhanced by the charisma and beauty of its stars.

A stimulating example of giving-it-all filmmaking for art’s sake that might not be perfect or cohesive, but it’s restless fun and uncompromising.

Claire Denis’s latest is wobbly, sometimes mesmerizing, but meandering, though it features one of the year’s best musical scores.

A return to form for Martin McDonagh, with this dark, macabre comedy. Though the story is gritty, grim, and grotesque, the location lends it an almost epic-like grandeur.
