Pacific Rim
(Guillermo del Toro, U.S.)
Whatever it is, Pacific Rim is almost certainly more than a movie.
Its lengthy, frequent scenes of robot-versus-alien fist-slugging, head-crushing,
and (literal) heart-wrenching fall somewhere on the spectrum—in scale, aesthetic sensibility

Wadjda
(Haifaa Al Mansour, Saudi Arabia/Germany)
Eschewing binaries of strong/weak female characters, outspoken radicalism and political passivity,
Haifaa Al Mansour’s debut feature presents a firm but understated social critique in the form of an endearing coming-of-age story.

This Is the End
(Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg, U.S.)
Self-deprecation is crucial in comedy.
The more you laugh at yourself, the more laughs you'll get from your audience.

Much Ado About Nothing
(Joss Whedon, U.S.)
A young woman sleeps in an apartment. A young man gets dressed and leaves without saying goodbye.
He steps into the city street, very much the picture of what the well-dressed ambitious young businessman is wearing.

Drug War
(Johnnie To, Hong Kong/China)
If John Woo’s A Better Tomorrow and The Killer were ballets of bloody gunplay,
Drug War is closer to action painting.

No
(Pablo Larraín, Chile/U.S./France)
After "Tony Manero" and "Post Mortem," his devastating portraits of the Pinochet regime,

Mud
(Jeff Nichols, U.S.)
Mud is grounded in that awkward moment of youth
where you begin testing out things you’ve seen adults do on TV—swearing, kissing,
saving the day by following your heart—and quickly discover that the world doesn’t work quite that easily.

Post Tenebras Lux
(Carlos Reygadas, Mexico/France/Germany/Netherlands)
Entrancingly beautiful and calculated to confound, Carlos Reygadas’s first feature since Silent Light (07),
is as beguiling a cinematic object as one is likely to encounter this year.

To the Wonder
(Terrence Malick, U.S.)
With each new film, Terrence Malick has pared away a little more of what we could once expect
from his cinema and intensified whatever remained.

Like the shadows blocking out key areas of the frame in a Val Lewton film,
or the requisite locked attic door in a haunted-house story,
the narrative ellipses that open Claire Denis’s murky, rain-soaked,
profoundly upsetting film noir could be concealing anything—
but it’s hard to imagine they’re hiding anything you’d want to see for yourself.

Computer Chess
(Andrew Bujalski, U.S.)
A dizzying plunge into ecstatic communion in the guise of a period nerdfest,
shot in black and white with a Sony AVC3260 and, for one nerve-rattling stretch, in warm color with a Bolex,
Andrew Bujalski’s Computer Chess takes place over one weekend in the early Eighties in a drab hotel.

There is a vivid party scene at the middle of Abdellatif Kechiche’s sprawling Palme d’Or winner
Blue Is the Warmest Color (aka, in France, La Vie d’Adèle: Chapitres 1 et 2)
that encapsulates some of the film’s strengths and weaknesses.
