Plus, the list itself is confined to movies that have scored a lucrative 70 or more on Metacritic, which describes itself as aggregating the "opinions of the most respected critics writing online and in print." Basically, it's more snooty than Rotten Tomatoes. This list has more to offer: It's also a rundown of what's new each week and whether they're watch-worthy.

Even in a year of involving and wonderful cinematic surprises, it was destined to be my No. This is the most commanding piece of cinema I’ve seen this year by far-one that demands that the audience pay attention to the corners of every frame while it showcases an unforgettable performance from Blanchett. Tár ends with her in quite a different scenario, and the route it charts for her downfall is remarkable and unpredictable, unwinding this tightly strung powerhouse and marveling at how her life falls apart. Field’s film, his first in 16 years, introduces us to a fictional celebrity at the top of the classical-music world, who, when we meet her, is lecturing a Lincoln Center audience about her total command of tempo. To know Lydia Tár is not to love her, exactly, but the mercurial conductor is impossible to stop thinking about. It builds to a finale that actually has something to say about the buzzing anxiety of modern life leave it to Miller to find new angles of our strange modern condition decades into his career. But Miller’s film succeeds because the chemistry between its two leads feels lived in despite the fantasy atmosphere, and the stories that Elba’s djinn unfurls are wildly different in tone, jumping from violent palace intrigue to swooning romance to bizarre comedy. The story pitch is strange, for sure: A buttoned-up professor (Tilda Swinton) accidentally summons a sensuous genie (Idris Elba) to her hotel room and persists in learning about his very dramatic, millennia-long life, only to fall in love with him along the way. The first film from the Australian legend Miller since his Oscar-winning Mad Max: Fury Road, Three Thousand Years of Longing came and went this summer with barely any attention at the box office, but it’s ready to be discovered by a bigger audience. Three Thousand Years of Longing (George Miller)
