★★★★★
Gangs of Wasseypur is Anurag Kashyap's sprawling Dhanbad gangster epic, a funny, brutal and song-soaked blood feud that remains Hindi cinema's great modern crime saga.
★★★½☆
Ghilli is Dharani's Tamil action-romance in which Vijay's kabaddi player shields a young woman from a village strongman, and it remains a mass-cinema template.
★★★½☆
Girl with a Pearl Earring imagines the story behind Vermeer's famous painting, a ravishing period drama with Scarlett Johansson that is more beautiful than gripping.
★★★★☆
Girls Will Be Girls is Shuchi Talati's perceptive coming-of-age drama at a strict Himalayan boarding school, where a teenager's first romance collides with her mother.
★★★★½
Gladiator is Ridley Scott's thunderous Roman revenge epic, with Russell Crowe as a betrayed general turned arena fighter, and it still sets the genre's standard.
★★★★½
Godzilla Minus One is Takashi Yamazaki's postwar kaiju drama, in which a guilt-ridden former kamikaze pilot faces the monster: perhaps the best Godzilla film since 1954.
★★★★½
Gomorrah is Matteo Garrone's unflinching Naples crime drama, five interwoven stories that strip every trace of glamour from the Camorra and the lives it controls.
★★★★☆
Gone Girl is David Fincher's icy, darkly funny thriller about a missing wife and a husband under suspicion, a sharp satire of marriage and media starring Rosamund Pike.
★★★★½
Good Bye, Lenin! is Wolfgang Becker's tragicomedy about a son who hides reunification from his mother, and a tender, funny portrait of a country that vanished.
★★★½☆
Good One is India Donaldson's quietly piercing debut, in which a Catskills hiking trip shows a 17-year-old how easily the men around her let her down.
★★★★½
GoodFellas is Martin Scorsese's electric true-crime saga of Henry Hill's life in the mob, a film that sells the gangster's thrill and then sends you the bill.
★★★★½
Grave of the Fireflies is Isao Takahata's animated war drama about two orphaned children in 1945 Kobe, and one of the most devastating films ever made.
★★★★☆
Guang is Quek Shio-chuan's gentle Malaysian drama about an autistic young man with a gift for music, and a rare film about autism that avoids easy sentiment.
★★★★☆
Gully Boy is Zoya Akhtar's vivid Mumbai hip-hop drama, with Ranveer Singh as a young man from Dharavi who finds his voice in rap. It is long but electric.
★★★★☆
Gundala karya Joko Anwar membuka jagat Bumilangit dengan superhero yang lahir dari jalanan dan ketimpangan kelas. Kelam, politis, meski paruh akhirnya padat.
★★★½☆
Half of a Yellow Sun is Biyi Bandele's adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Biafran War novel: handsome and well acted, but squeezed by its source's scope.
★★★★½
Happyend is Neo Sora's near-future Tokyo drama about two best friends drifting apart as surveillance tightens around their school, and a quietly furious debut.
★★★★½
Harakiri is Masaki Kobayashi's austere samurai masterpiece, in which a ronin's request to die becomes a devastating indictment of honour and hypocrisy.
★★★★☆
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is Chris Columbus's longer, spookier second Hogwarts film, a mystery that adds real menace to the series' wonder.
★★★★☆
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 takes the trio out of Hogwarts and onto the run. It is the bleakest, most intimate chapter of the series.
★★★★★
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 brings the series home with the Battle of Hogwarts: a lean, thrilling and moving finale to a decade of films.
★★★★☆
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince mixes teenage romance with Voldemort's past. It is the series' most beautiful-looking film and its quietest before the war.
★★★★☆
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix turns Hogwarts into a school under state control, with Imelda Staunton's Umbridge as the series' most hateful villain.
★★★★½
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is Chris Columbus's warm, faithful first trip to Hogwarts, a family fantasy whose sense of wonder still casts a spell.
