Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is Ang Lee's Mandarin-language wuxia romance, a film of weightless swordplay and restrained longing that still feels graceful.
★★★★☆
Crows Are White follows a filmmaker shut out of a Japanese Buddhist monastery who befriends a metal-loving monk, and turns into a wry, candid study of faith.
★★★★½
Dangal is Nitesh Tiwari's rousing Hindi wrestling drama, with Aamir Khan as a father who trains his daughters to fight, and a crowd-pleaser with real grit.
★★★★½
Das Boot is Wolfgang Petersen's German submarine epic, a claustrophobic war film that traps viewers inside a U-boat and shows the cost of the war it depicts.
★★★★☆
Deadpool 2 pits Ryan Reynolds's foul-mouthed mercenary against Josh Brolin's Cable in a sequel with bigger action, sharper stunts and an even louder mouth.
★★★★☆
Deadpool stars Ryan Reynolds as a scarred, wisecracking mercenary in an R-rated superhero comedy that mocks the genre while delivering a fast, violent origin story.
★★★★★
Deaf President Now! revisits the 1988 Gallaudet University protests through the people who led them, and tells deaf history in a deaf filmmaking language.
★★★★☆
Decision to Leave is Park Chan-wook's romantic noir about a detective drawn to a murder suspect, a dazzling, melancholy puzzle that trades violence for longing.
★★★★★
Demon Slayer: Mugen Train is the record-breaking anime feature that sends Tanjiro and a legendary swordsman onto a haunted train, and makes grief its real enemy.
★★½☆☆
Detective Chinatown 1900 moves the Chinese comedy franchise to Exclusion-era San Francisco, with grand production design sunk by slapstick, bloat and a weak mystery.
★★★★½

★★★★½
Django Unchained is Quentin Tarantino's blood-soaked revenge western about a freed slave and a bounty hunter: provocative, wildly entertaining and superbly acted.
★★★★½
Downfall is Oliver Hirschbiegel's German drama of Hitler's final days in the Berlin bunker, anchored by Bruno Ganz and chilling in its portrait of collapse and denial.
★★★★☆
Drishyam is Nishikant Kamat's Hindi remake of the Malayalam hit, a clever family thriller in which Ajay Devgn's everyman takes on Tabu's formidable police chief.
★★★½☆
Drowning in Holy Water is Navid Mahmoudi's compact Persian-language drama about a young Afghan couple whose hopes of reaching Europe hinge on a test of faith.
★★★½☆
Drunken Master is the 1978 Hong Kong kung fu comedy that made Jackie Chan a star. Its training scenes and fights still dazzle, even when the story wanders.
★★★★½
Dune: Part Two is Denis Villeneuve's towering desert war epic, and a sharper film than Part One because it treats its chosen-one hero as a warning.
★★★½☆
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a fantasy heist comedy that wins by refusing to take itself seriously. It is light, funny and a touch too long.
★★★½☆
Dunki pairs Rajkumar Hirani with Shah Rukh Khan for a Hindi comedy-drama about Punjabi villagers chasing England by illegal routes. Warm, sincere and uneven.
★★★★☆
Dunkirk is Christopher Nolan's taut Second World War survival film, told across land, sea and air. A sensory triumph that keeps its characters at arm's length.
★★★★½
Dying to Survive is Wen Muye's Chinese comedy-drama about a shopkeeper smuggling cheap leukaemia drugs. It is funny, furious and deeply moving.
★★★★★
Eephus is Carson Lund's gentle, funny film about the last amateur baseball game on a doomed New England field, and a quietly profound elegy for small rituals.
★★★½☆
Egg is Semih Kaplanoğlu's quiet Turkish drama about a poet who returns home for his mother's funeral. Patient, beautiful and demanding, it rewards stillness.
