MASTERPIECES

Roma (2018) 10
Cuarón's tender portrayal of a middle-class family's domestic worker in 1970s Mexico City. Dreamlike memoir.
Shoplifters (2018) 10
Masterful portrait of a flawed, unusual family trying to survive in Tokyo. Compassionate, socially conscious.

EXCELLENT

Annihilation (2018) 9
Natalie Portman joins a perilous expedition into the Shimmer, a quarantined disaster area. Hallucinogenic mystery.
Cold War (2018) 9
Doomed 1950s romance between a music director and singer, across communist Poland, Berlin, and Paris.
Isle of Dogs (2018) 9
The mayor of Megasaki, Japan banishes all dogs to Trash Island. Charming Wes Anderson stop-motion.
Mirai (2018) 9
Parenting two small children in a unique house that reveals family past and future. Magical.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) 9
Visually ingenious comic-book mashup. Quantum insanity. A Marvel superhero movie that elevates the tired genre.
Won't You Be My Neighbor? (2018) 9
An exploration of the life, lessons, and legacy of iconic children's television host, Fred Rogers.

VERY GOOD

Black Panther (2018) 8
The advanced African kingdom of Wakanda, powered by vibranium, is in transition. Socially conscious Marvel.
Green Book (2018) 8
Affectionate, predictable comedy about racism and segregation during a 1962 Deep South piano concert tour.
Happy as Lazzaro (2018) 8
Magical realism fable of a saintly teen sharecropper and a tobacco baroness in rural Italy.
Incredibles 2 (2018) 8
Pixar superhero sequel that's much like the original, featuring mysterious villain Screenslaver. Jack-Jack has powers!
Quiet Place, A (2018) 8
In the post-apocalypse, people live in silence while hiding from blind creatures with supersensitive hearing.
RBG (2018) 8
Ruth Bader Ginsburg's incredible legal legacy since the 1970s. Plus memes of her later years.

GOOD

Before I Wake (2018) 7
Parents haunted by their lost child. The surprisingly rewarding payoff redeems the clichéd Canker Man.
Bird Box (2018) 7
An almost unbearable horror that the survival of four-year-olds depends on them carefully following directions.
Flavors of Youth (2018) 7
Three stories of formative childhood experiences set in different cities of China. Anime food nostalgia.

FAIR

Anon (2018) 6
Stylish but contrived. Amanda Seyfried is fun as the mystery hacker. DFE (delete fucking everything).
Errementari: The Blacksmith and the Devil (2018) 6
Depicts a Basque fable about a cunning blacksmith who makes a pact with the devil.

ADEQUATE

Beyond, The (2018) 5
Faux-documentary of astronauts, wormholes, cybernetics, alien life. Far-fetched pseudoscience. Solid visual effects.
Cloverfield Paradox, The (2018) 5
Absurd, unstable jumble of sci-fi space horror that connects to the previous two Cloverfield movies.
Delirium (2018) 5
Topher Grace, recently released from a mental institute, inherits his father's mansion. Haunted? Or psychosis?
Extinction (2018) 5
A father is plagued by nightmares of a deadly alien invasion. But there's a twist.
How It Ends (2018) 5
After an apocalyptic event, a man travels west toward Seattle. How it ends is stupidly.
Orbiter 9 (2018) 5
An engineer boards a young woman's spaceship, upends her sense of reality. Promising but unfocused.
Wrinkle in Time, A (2018) 5
I watched for the tesseracts. So much promise, an enormous budget, with TV-grade acting. Perplexing.

FROM BAD TO WORSE

Paradox (2018) CRAP
Daryl Hannah directs outlaw Neil Young in an experimental concert film of supernatural frontier nonsense.
