WILD TALES (2014)

🍅94%Critics🍿92%Audience⭐8.1IMDb

Szifrón’s smokin’ opus is batshit in all the right ways: it’s ironic, smart, blisteringly funny and downright brutal. It’s a concoction of true madness and borderline genius, shaken up and exploding onto the screen in gory, imaginative splashes.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

HEEL (2025)

🍅88%Critics🍿76%Audience

A family kidnaps a hard-partying, misanthropic 19-year-old and chains him up in their home, determined not just to punish him but to rehabilitate him into one of their own. Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough play father and mother consequence, the latter so pale and whispery she seems like a Victorian ghost. A touch A Clockwork Orange meets The Loved Ones, Jan Komasa’s darkly funny psychological thriller heads to rather unexpected places.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · See where it ranks among the best horror of the 2020s

HONEYLAND (2019)

🍅100%Critics🍿86%Audience⭐8.0IMDb

Honeyland masterfully employs the documentary medium to tell a sprawling story about sustainability through the lens of a traditional Macedonian beekeeper. The perfect cross section of educational entertainment and storytelling prowess, the Sundance award winner is nectar for the soul that buzzes with poignancy.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

ERNEST & CELESTINE (2012)

🍅98%Critics🍿89%Audience⭐7.8IMDb

This is my favorite film I’ve seen all year, and I don’t think that will change for a good while. When your eyes water at the end, you’ll be wishing for a youth lost long ago. This hand-drawn French gem about a bear and a mouse who defy their segregated worlds is gentle, funny, and gorgeous to look at.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

TITANE (2021)

🍅90%Critics🍿85%Audience⭐6.4IMDb

Titane sees Julia Ducournau use expressive body horror and ostensibly insane plotting to explore the very-real transformative nature of childbearing. A startling and genuinely thrilling work of avant-garde brilliance. Julia Ducournau won the Palme d’Or for this gleefully transgressive body-horror fever dream, and Agathe Rousselle is astonishing in her first role.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

DINNER IN AMERICA (2022)

🍅91%Critics🍿90%Audience⭐7.5IMDb

‘Dinner in America’ is a rough-around-the-edges ode to love on the fringes of society, where a criminal punk rocker and a bizarre loner court an unlikely flirtation, all while navigating the suburbs, musical aspirations and the law. Expect a brash curb-stomp of a coming-of-age saga and prepare for impact.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

COSMOPOLIS (2012)

🍅67%Critics🍿31%Audience⭐5.1IMDb

Cosmopolis is philosophical poetry in motion told through a series of increasingly bizarre and abtruse vignettes that doesn’t wait for you to catch up, a tactic that kept me glued to the screen in anxious anticipation and careful study for it’s entire one hour and 49 minute run time.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

SHORT TERM 12 (2013)

🍅98%Critics🍿92%Audience⭐7.9IMDb

The truth is often more horrifying than fiction, and although Short Term 12 isn’t based on a true story, it unearths a harsh reality of displaced youth, offset from the spotlight but boiling under the surface of society. Brie Larson’s foster-care supervisor learns the only way to move beyond the cycle of abuse is acceptance, a self-imposed yard sale of everything nasty hidden away. Only when we show the darkest parts of ourselves are we able to start moving towards the light.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

RED ROCKET (2021)

🍅90%Critics🍿79%Audience⭐7.1IMDb

A Texan ballad of a dirtbag ex-porn star, Red Rocket is a sidesplittingly funny and brutally honest character study from writer-director Sean Baker. Its uncomfortable subject matter will be a turn-off for many but Baker’s unblinking commitment to fully unpacking this satirical saga of a guy who’s packing is amongst the best of the year.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

SPOTLIGHT (2015)

🍅97%Critics🍿93%Audience⭐8.1IMDb

Spotlight is a classically told investigative thriller featuring confident performances from its able ensemble. Though it adheres to a familiar narrative style, its overwhelmingly excellent craftsmanship makes it a strong feature, and its Best Picture win was well earned.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

SMALL TOWN CRIME (2018)

🍅82%Critics🍿70%Audience⭐6.6IMDb

A rural gumshoe caper with splashes of Tarantino and the Coen bros, Small Town Crime soars on the wings of star John Hawkes who leads an unforgettable cast as a washed up ex-detective back on the case. Strange, hilarious and immensely entertaining, Small Town Crime is the modern day dusty noir we didn’t know we needed.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

GREEN ROOM (2016)

🍅90%Critics🍿75%Audience⭐6.9IMDb

Jeremy Saulnier’s grotesquely violent Green Room pits a hapless punk band against a group of militant Neo Nazis in almost pornographically gruesome fashion. A relentlessly fierce examination of violence meets punk, this well-acted violent venture is a must for those compelled to see such material.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

COLD IN JULY (2014)

🍅84%Critics🍿67%Audience⭐6.7IMDb

As the next chapter in Mickle’s ascension, Cold in July is a wonderfully stylized jangle of unsettling imagery, deep-seated tension, and brash, bold, cold comeuppances. A Texas man shoots an intruder in 1989 and the dead man’s father comes looking for him, with Michael C. Hall, Sam Shepard, and Don Johnson making a terrific trio.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

MASS (2021)

🍅95%Critics🍿90%Audience⭐7.5IMDb

A painstakingly intimate, conversation-driven drama with phenomenal performances all around (Jacob Isaacs and Ann Dowd are especially extraordinary), Mass is a terrific and terrifically depressing debut from Fran Kranz that will be sure to move audiences to tears.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

PEARL (2022)

🍅93%Critics🍿83%Audience⭐7.0IMDb

An electrifying improvement over X, Ti West’s Technicolor slasher is a darkly funny thirst trap; a gory origin story that sees Mia Goth give an absolute scene-stealing performance as the titular Pearl.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

BLACKFISH (2013)

🍅98%Critics🍿90%Audience⭐8.1IMDb

The story of Tilikum, the orca behind multiple deaths at SeaWorld, and the industry that kept him captive. Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s documentary is infuriating and heartbreaking, and it changed how a lot of people think about marine parks.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

FOXCATCHER (2014)

🍅88%Critics🍿66%Audience⭐7.0IMDb

Bennett Miller’s true-crime drama follows Olympic wrestlers Mark and Dave Schultz into the orbit of eccentric millionaire John du Pont, who wanted to bunch it all up on his verdant Pennsylvania farm and own it for good. Foxcatcher is quietly explosive, a somber rough-and-tumble look at moneyed mannerisms and the banality of clean white tennis shoes. And if it doesn’t leave you shaken and stirred, you might just already be a Bond martini.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

THE DISASTER ARTIST (2017)

🍅90%Critics🍿85%Audience⭐7.3IMDb

One of the funniest and most sincere making-of comedies to come out of Hollywood, The Disaster Artist finds James Franco and brother Dave Franco homaging the world’s worst movie with one of their bests.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE (2016)

🍅97%Critics🍿91%Audience⭐7.8IMDb

Taika Waititi spreads his wings with Hunt for the Wilderpeople, a genuinely hilarious and emotionally engaging tale of a naughty foster child and his surrogate uncle who venture off into the bush. Sam Neill and Julian Dennison have uncommon comic chemistry in front of the camera while behind it, Waititi shows off some newfound directorial tricks.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review · Taika Waititi’s Movies, Ranked

ONLY GOD FORGIVES (2013)

🤢41%Critics🍿37%Audience⭐5.7IMDb

Even when the film is as subtle as a neon sign, it’s as sharp as a wakizashi, making Only God Forgives a 21st century creation myth at its most boldly esoteric. Cliff Martinez’s pulsing score and Larry Smith’s lurid cinematography make it a sensory experience as much as a story.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

KRISHA (2016)

🍅95%Critics🍿77%Audience⭐7.1IMDb

Backed by a spine-tingling score, Krisha is a powerful journey through the dingy bowels of addiction and family secrets. Krisha Fairchild is masterful in a breakout role for the ages just as first-time director Trey Edwards Shults proves himself a powerful emerging voice with a debut that won’t soon be forgotten.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

CAPTAIN FANTASTIC (2016)

🍅82%Critics🍿85%Audience⭐7.8IMDb

Captain Fantastic is the anarchist’s cookbook of indie road movies; a cherry bomb of heart and good humor that blissfully ignores the virtues of normalcy for the ecstasy of experimentation. Viggo Mortensen is a powerhouse as a dad living off the land with his six more-than-competent children even when the narrative proves a hint preachy.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

THE LODGE (2020)

🍅75%Critics🍿51%Audience⭐6.0IMDb

Led by a strikingly gloomy performance from Riley Keough, ‘The Lodge‘ uses the power of psychological warfare and brutal natural elements to spook up a dark cabin fever horror story that refuses to let up.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS (2016)

🍅97%Critics🍿86%Audience⭐7.7IMDb

Kubo and the Two Strings is animation perfected; voiced with great nuance, divinely animated and rippled with decadent thematic elements far exceeding its PG-rating, this is the kind of emotionally rich cinematic achievement that only great animated film seem able to deliver.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review · Every LAIKA Movie, Ranked

SANCTUARY (2023)

🍅88%Critics🍿82%Audience⭐6.2IMDb

Sanctuary, a kinky dark romantic comedy, transcends its overtly sexually-charged trappings to become a provocative exploration of power, control, and trust. With an unforgettable performance from Margaret Qualley, it’s a wildly unpredictable ride that’ll leaves an indelible mark on the more risqué viewer’s psyche.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

MUD (2013)

🍅97%Critics🍿80%Audience⭐7.3IMDb

As a postmodern tale of virtue gone slumming and a story of the veracity of the human spirit, Mud is a tremendously heart-warming and gritty modern day fairy tale. It’s a surprisingly tender film that, like its characters, wears its heart on its sleeve. McConaughey’s performance is delicate and unique, dark and nuanced, offering award-caliber work.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

FENCES (2016)

🍅92%Critics🍿75%Audience⭐7.2IMDb

Denzel Washington and Viola Davis (and the rest of the cast) are simply outstanding in the powerfully acted and supremely written Fences, a 1950s melodrama about a struggling African American family, even if the movie itself feels much more like theater than a film; the experience is stirring and important nonetheless.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

BEGIN AGAIN (2014)

🍅83%Critics🍿81%Audience⭐7.4IMDb

A down-and-out record exec (Mark Ruffalo) hears a heartbroken songwriter (Keira Knightley) at an open mic and decides to record her album on the streets of New York. John Carney’s warm, music-first comedy is a feel-good charmer with songs that stick.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

THE SISTERS BROTHERS (2018)

🍅87%Critics🍿69%Audience⭐6.9IMDb

The Sisters Brothers subverts every waking expectation one has for the Western genre, currying favor with rich, strange performances and a bold penchant for charging down the dirtroad less traveled. Poetic, eccentric, and surprisingly heartrending at times, consider this one from Jacques Audiard a flashbang must-see.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

WEREWOLVES WITHIN (2021)

🍅86%Critics🍿80%Audience⭐6.0IMDb

Josh Ruben continues to make a name for himself in the horror-comedy game with his adaptation of Werewolves Within, which employs a supremely-affable ensemble cast, a goofy premise, and plenty of directorial gags to monstrously-amusing effect. Continue to keep a close eye on this guy, he’s apt to transform into a big-timer one of these lunar rotations.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

LICORICE PIZZA (2021)

🍅90%Critics🍿65%Audience⭐7.1IMDb

Licorice Pizza is a coming-of-age romantic-comedy that only Paul Thomas Anderson could tell. An anarchic swirl of memories and mood make for a unique, and uniquely hysterical, vision of the woes of friendship and first love.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

ALL IS LOST (2013)

🍅95%Critics🍿64%Audience⭐6.9IMDb

Robert Redford, alone on a sinking yacht in the Indian Ocean, with almost no dialogue and no one coming to help. J.C. Chandor’s survival drama is pure, gripping cinema, and Redford gives one of the best performances of his career without saying a word.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

BLACK BEAR (2020)

🍅89%Critics🍿64%Audience⭐6.5IMDb

Black Bear commits fully to breaking rules of cinema, which may leave some bewildered or frustrated, but between its smart screenplay, saucy technical savvy, and all-around great performances, the odd-duck drama-thriller is absolutely deserving of your attempt to puzzle through it.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

WRONG TURN (2021)

🍅64%Critics🍿59%Audience⭐5.6IMDb

Wrong Turn breaks the mold of lame slasher reboots to deliver an unexpectedly awesome road trip into gnarly backwoods insanity. Though a near-complete rebranding of the franchise, the film from director Mike P. Nelson proves there is plenty of gas left in this series’ tank.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

LOVE & MERCY (2015)

🍅90%Critics🍿85%Audience⭐7.4IMDb

Love & Mercy is dark and tender, like a good chunk of turkey, journey into deeper meaning; a filmic psychoanalysis of a man balancing on piano wire at the height of his fame and fortune. Paul Dano and John Cusack share the role of Brian Wilson across two eras, and both are excellent in Bill Pohlad’s inventive biopic.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

THE COURIER (2020)

🍅85%Critics🍿95%Audience⭐4.8IMDb

A stirring dramatic thriller with a career-best onscreen turn from Benedict Cumberbatch, The Courier explores the events of the Cold War through ground-level heroism, focusing on the human element and how the actions of a few dictate the course of history. Dominic Cooke expertly crescendos events into big tear-inducing moments…so be prepared for your emotions to get nuked. *This is a reprint from our Sundance 2020 coverage.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

WHAT MAISIE KNEW (2013)

🍅86%Critics🍿80%Audience⭐7.4IMDb

What Maisie Knew is an emotional powerhouse of a film led by an adorably funny-faced young actress functioning on a purely natural level, allowing the “performance” underneath to disappear entirely. Onata Aprile is remarkable as a little girl caught between her self-absorbed parents, played by Julianne Moore and Steve Coogan, in a quietly devastating custody drama.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

BOYHOOD (2014)

🍅97%Critics🍿80%Audience⭐7.9IMDb

Richard Linklater filmed the same cast for twelve years to capture a boy growing from first grade to college. The result is a quiet, monumental achievement, and Patricia Arquette is extraordinary as the mother holding everything together.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

MISSING LINK (2019)

🍅88%Critics🍿67%Audience⭐6.7IMDb

Though not resting with the top-tier Laika efforts, Missing Link is breathtaking proof about the evils of consolidating style: in the age of selfsame CGI-animation, something this devilishly detailed bears fruit of singularly unique beauty. Kids and adults alike will swoon.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review · Every LAIKA Movie, Ranked

AMERICAN HONEY (2016)

🍅80%Critics🍿63%Audience⭐7.0IMDb

Admirably unfocused and nearly three hours long, American Honey is a behemoth of modern American cinema that dares to tell a coming-of-age drama in untraditional fashion. That it feels cut from the same cloth as the works of Mark Twain or Jack Kerouac speaks to the timeless cultural universality Andrea Arnold almost effortlessly is able to tap into as Sasha Lane and Shia LaBeouf sparkle just as much as her infectious soundtrack.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

INFINITY POOL (2023)

🍅87%Critics🍿52%Audience⭐6.0IMDb

Not for the faint of heart, Infinity Pool continues writer-director Brandon Cronenberg’s familial fascination with humanity’s obsession with their own impermanence. In oft sickening fashion. Brash and bold and overindulgent, the film wrangles pure chaos to tell a saga about death and consequence or lack therefore. Mia Goth and Alexander Skarsård are terrific.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

MINARI (2021)

🍅98%Critics🍿92%Audience⭐7.4IMDb

An exercise in understated family drama, Minari tells a hopeful saga of assimilation that pulls from writer-director Lee Isaac Chung’s own experience. The ensemble cast is great though I am hesitant to say that this is a movie that I’ll remember existing months down the line.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

THE LAST DUEL (2021)

🍅85%Critics🍿81%Audience⭐7.3IMDb

Ridley Scott’s latest medieval combat drama is relatively light on the swordplay and heavy on the politics and melodrama, cleverly telling the story of a noblewoman’s assault through three perspectives to try to arrive at some kind of objective truth. Challenging if at times a bit lumbering, The Last Duel boasts strong performances and writing, proving a welcome return to the Middle Ages for the aging auteur.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review · Every Ridley Scott Movie, Ranked

SCARE ME (2020)

🍅84%Critics🍿57%Audience⭐3.1IMDb

Scare Me milks its juicy premise – two horror storytellers trying to frighten each other on a cold, dark night – for all that it’s worth, proving that less is more when you get the ingredients right and let the rest of the noise fall away. The refreshing performances all pop, particularly when they get nutty.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

SWALLOW (2020)

🍅87%Critics🍿69%Audience⭐6.5IMDb

Swallow is a subdued thriller/character study lead by a breakout performance from Haley Bennett that thoughtfully explores the concept of lingering trauma and self-destructive habits. The lead character eats lots of metal, so trigger warning for those who find that particularly disturbing.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

SYNCHRONIC (2020)

🍅79%Critics🍿76%Audience⭐6.2IMDb

Sci-fi indie filmmakers Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead have done it again with the trippy, drug-fueled time travel experiment Synchronic, which benefits from a strong leading man and an arresting balance of body horror and temporal experimentation.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

BEN IS BACK (2018)

🍅81%Critics🍿69%Audience⭐6.7IMDb

Ben is Back takes a different approach to an emotionally turbulent story of addiction and deception, figuring a suspense-driven framework that keeps the audience engaged and involved even as the film pivots towards increasingly depressing (and predictable) territory. Both Lucas Hedges and Julia Roberts are afforded the opportunity to dig into the characters and let their particular talents shine and are sure to leave you pretty darn sad for having watched.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

THE ENDLESS (2017)

🍅91%Critics🍿67%Audience⭐6.5IMDb

Moorhead and Benson’s The Endless is a riveting trip down the rabbit hole, fastened with a smarter-than-average and genuinely thrilling script and impossible to predict plotting. Suffers in the acting and special effects department but remains a strong recommendation for sci-fi fans looking for some original flavor.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

BLEED FOR THIS (2016)

🍅70%Critics🍿70%Audience⭐6.8IMDb

It may not quite float like a butterfly or sting like a bee but Bleed for This rides on the greatness of Miles Teller and Aaron Eckhart’s killer performances to tell a somewhat predictable true life story with soulful playfulness and showman’s pizazz.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

BLUE RUIN (2014)

🍅96%Critics🍿79%Audience⭐7.1IMDb

A homeless drifter learns the man who killed his parents is getting out of prison and sets out for revenge, very badly. Jeremy Saulnier’s lean, brutal thriller is all tension and no glamour, and Macon Blair is unforgettable as the world’s least capable avenger.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review
