The Revenant | 2015 | 100 | 1 | (full review) - Epic, gorgeous, and riveting in every way, The Revenant is undoubtedly a tree with strong roots. Thanks to Iñárritu, this revenge flick is brought to life in stunning vibrancy, and nature is the auteur's weapon of choice. |
Bridge of Spies | 2015 | 99 | 2 | (full review) - I've been hesitant to say this in 2015 so far, but I'm ready to pull the trigger. Bridge of Spies might just be the best damn movie of the year. |
Brooklyn | 2015 | 99 | 2 | (full review) - Crowley makes a period piece that functions as a feel-good movie but maintains the emotional depths of a more serious affair. |
The Big Short | 2015 | 98 | 4 | (full review) - Blending some of the best elements of Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street and J. C. Chandor's Margin Call, the finance-themed comedy drama from Anchorman director Adam McKay serves up both irreverent humor and gut-wrenching drama in perfect doses. |
Mad Max: Fury Road | 2015 | 97 | 5 | (full review) - It's safe to say that we can't afford to wait another thirty years for director George Miller to craft the next installment in the Mad Max franchise. This post-apocalyptic thriller is a breath of fresh air at the mainstream box office. It's something different. It's something inventive. It's something throwback. |
Room | 2015 | 97 | 5 | (full review) - Dominated by two incredible performances from Brie Larson and her younger pint-sized co-star Jacob Tremblay, this potent drama delivers on so many levels. It's simultaneously heartbreaking and uplifting to watch this situation unfold as a young mother tries to shield her son from the horrors of the confined, ultra-insular world in which they live. |
The Martian | 2015 | 97 | 5 | (full review) - Boldly envisioned, meticulously crafted, and beautifully executed, this film finds Scott in rare form. |
