'The Zone of Interest' is an incredibly affecting work of banal disinterest in humanity and decency. As close to a masterpiece as anything in 2023 though truly a challenge to watch. Nevertheless, don't you dare miss it.

It's finally here - and the best movie of the year - it's Yorgos Lanthimos' 'Poor Things'. A feminist Frankenstein redux starring Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, and Mark Ruffalo, his latest feature sees the one-of-a-kind auteur operating at the peak of his talents. A truly hysterical madcap wonder.

From Emerald Fennel ('Promising Young Woman'), 'Saltburn' is an electrifying portrait of greed, lust, and friendship with an excellent cast led by Barry Keoghan.

A film review of 'Saltburn' written and directed by Emerald Fennell and starring Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike, and Richard E. Grant.

The bloom is off the rose for writer-director Taika Waititi, who delivers his worst film effort yet with the slapdash and obnoxious 'Next Goal Wins'. There's little things to celebrate found throughout but largely this is a low-effort, cliché-riddled sports stinker.

A film review of 'Next Goal Wins' directed by Taika Waititi and starring Michael Fassbender, Elizabeth Moss, and Kaimana.

Alexander Payne's 'The Holdovers' harkens back to the days of 1970s cinema, telling the story of a misfit professor and a reprobate boarding school student. It's one of the bests of 2023.

A film review of 'The Holdovers' directed by Alexander Payne and starring Dominic Sessa, Paul Giamatti, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph.

Many critics are fawning over Martin Scorsese's 3.5-hour crime drama 'Killers of the Flower Moon' and though there's a lot to appreciate here, it's far from the auteur's best work. Dare I say that the film is even problematic?

A film review of 'Killers of the Flower Moon' directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert DeNiro, and Lily Gladstone.

'Exorcist: Believer' works better as a domestic thriller than it does a possession movie, with Ellen Burstyn returning to the franchise 50 years later for no discernible reason.

Leslie Odom Jr. shines but this just isn't scary stuff folks.

A movie review of 'Exorcist: Believer' written and directed by David Gordon Green and starring Leslie Odoms Jr. and Ellen Burstyn.

Not a huge action guy but this looks pretty awesome. Welcome back John Woo!

Action-thriller 'Silent Night' finds Joel Kinnaman's grieving vigilante seeking revenge for the death of his son. Director John Woo tells EW about making the film essentially dialogue-free.

'The Creator' is the best original science-fiction movie in years as Gareth Edwards delivers an audio-visual knockout that features strong performances and a stirring, if somewhat familiar, story.

A film review of 'The Creator' written and directed by Gareth Edwards and starring John David Washington, Gemma Chan and Madeleine Yuna Voyles.

'Dumb Money' features one of the most compelling ensemble casts of 2023 and its telling of the GameStop stock run has broad mainstream appeal. One still is left wondering why exactly it exists though.

A review of 'Dumb Money' directed by Craig Gillespie and starring Paul Dano, Seth Rogen, Shailene Woodley, and Pete Davidson.
