Moonlight

Dir. Barry Jenkins
111 min

Moonlight is many things -- a portrait of a young black man coming of age in Miami in the 1980s, a film about fathers and sons, about mentorship and about the scourge of drugs -- but it is also one of the most piercing movie romances of the last decade.

Raging Bull

Dir. Martin Scorsese
129 min

In the throes of a near-fatal drug problem Martin Scorsese made what he believed could be his last movie. Its subject: the Bronx Bull, Jake La Motta, a graceless but indomitable boxer who never quits beating himself up. De Niro has never dug deeper.

Silence

Dir. Martin Scorsese
141 min

This sober, probing examination of faith, ego, cruelty and compassion is the most underrated film from the often under-valued latter half of Martin Scorsese's brilliant career; a passion project, about Catholic missionaries in 17th Century Japan.

Petite Maman

Dir. Céline Sciamma
72 min

This "small" film from the director of Portrait of a Lady on Fire speaks volumes. It's a poetical modern fairy tale about an 8-year-old girl who meets a new friend her own age in the woods behind her late grandmother's house.

Synecdoche, New York

Dir. Charlie Kaufman
124 min

Charlie Kaufman wrote Being John Malkovich, Adaptation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind -- all great, all successful -- then turned director with Synecdoche, which is a masterpiece and which basically went unseen. It's overdue rediscovery.

Two of Us

Dir. Filippo Meneghetti
95 min

This French love story is as tense and edgy as a thriller. Nina (Barbara Sukowa) has the apartment adjacent to Madeleine's, which is convenient: the women have been secret lovers for decades. Then a stroke renders Madeleine paralyzed, and Nina is bereft.
