Best Movies of 2024
Ranked by our critic's grades, best first.
AnoraA screwball comedy that turns into something much sadder, carried by a star making performance from Mikey Madison.Read the review
The Wild RobotDreamWorks' most beautiful film tells a plain story about motherhood with painterly craft, and earns its tears more often than it forces them.
Rebel RidgeJeremy Saulnier rebuilds First Blood around a hero who will not kill, and makes restraint more gripping than any body count.
Dune: Part TwoThe rare sequel that finds a bigger idea than the first film and stages it flawlessly.
MaharajaA barber's complaint about a stolen dustbin unfolds, through a shuffled timeline, into a revenge thriller whose final reveal is as divisive as it is clever.
Deadpool & WolverineA very funny, very cynical corporate wake that only works if you have already seen twenty other films.
The Fall GuyThe best case any recent blockbuster has made for doing it in camera, undercut by a murder mystery nobody needed.
Carry-OnPreposterous from the first earpiece and built with such confidence that it hardly matters; Jason Bateman's soft-spoken villain is the find.
The SubstanceA blunt, gorgeous, deliberately excessive body horror satire that makes its point early and then keeps going anyway.
WickedCynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are so good together that the murky photography and the stretched running time almost stop mattering.
