Before Midnight (2013)

Farran Smith Nehme
05/23/13 Outstanding "...finding romance is easy. Staying together is hard. Making a movie this warm, funny, and rigorously truthful about lovers trying to remain partners is even harder."
2.

Blancanieves

Farran Smith Nehme
03/29/13 Outstanding "...the purest, boldest re-imagining of silent cinema yet.... Classic cinema was always a kind of modern folklore; Berger makes that connection with splendid intelligence."
3. 02/08/13 Outstanding "The isolation and anger of prison bleeds into every moment.... Such is literature's power that the cast is more at ease portraying ancient Romans..."
4. 01/25/13 Outstanding "...hilarious, emotionally satisfying... sweet without being syrupy, it's commercial without being a sell-out, and its dialogue sparkles from beginning to end."
5.

56 Up

Kyle Smith
01/04/13 Outstanding "...as good a point as any to get hooked on the magnificent half-century series of documentaries... you may get to know these people better than anyone you know."
6.

Barbara (2012)

Farran Smith Nehme
12/21/12 Outstanding "Petzold raises questions of honor and builds the romance with an absolutely rigorous lack of sentiment, moving 'Barbara' to a sweeping finish..."
7.

Zero Dark Thirty

Lou Lumenick
12/19/12 Outstanding "...riveting... Maya is a consummate professional who brilliantly performs her job in an often hostile work environment... one of the year's best..."
8.

Amour (2012)

Farran Smith Nehme
12/19/12 Outstanding "All great films have imagination; this one also has the sense of experience."
9. 10/19/12 Outstanding "I fell in love with 'The Sessions'.... If you give this unusual, charming and surprisingly entertaining movie a chance, I'm sure you will, too."
10.

Argo

Lou Lumenick
10/12/12 Outstanding "...allows Ben Affleck to offer some white-knuckle suspense for a grand show -- and a slam-bang ending that's guaranteed to have audiences cheering."
11.

At Any Price

Lou Lumenick
09/11/12 Outstanding "...a classical American tragedy.... The performances, the staging, the editing, the script are expert all across the board and it all builds to a solid dramatic payoff..."
12.

Compliance

Farran Smith Nehme
08/17/12 Outstanding "The actors perform with thorough and chilling sincerity. To paraphrase Jean Renoir's most famous line, the workers have their reasons."
13. 07/19/12 Outstanding "...hugely entertaining... adroitly avoids clichés and gleefully subverts your expectations at every turn.... builds to a pulse-pounding, nail-biting climax."
14.

Magic Mike

Sara Stewart
06/29/12 Outstanding "It's like 'The Full Monty' except with guys you actually want to see take it all off, or 'Boogie Nights' minus the angst and the body count."
15. 06/29/12 Outstanding "...once in a great while, something as utterly distinctive and captivating as Benh Zeitlin's 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' comes along like a breath of fresh air."
16. 02/10/12 Outstanding "...a sumptuous masterpiece by one of the greatest moviemakers of all time.... Life is hell, Bela Tarr is telling us, and who would dare disagree with him after seeing this..."
17.

War Horse

Kyle Smith
12/23/11 Outstanding "...a gorgeous, majestic fable about a boy who yearns to be reunited with his steed.... Those who say they don't make 'em like they used to must now fall silent."
18.

The Descendants

Lou Lumenick
11/16/11 Outstanding "...you feel like you've come to know the characters' entire lives in the span of two hours.... a razor-sharp, pitch-perfect script..."
19. 07/14/11 Outstanding "...a whip-smart, slam-bang piece of entertainment where we deeply care about the fate of the central characters (and many subsidiary ones who return for their last bows)."
20.

Project Nim

Kyle Smith
07/08/11 Outstanding "Brilliant, provocative, clear of eye and heavy of heart... about nature versus nurture, arrogance and, more broadly, the mythmaking that beclouds the progressive mindset."
