★★★★☆
To a Land Unknown is Mahdi Fleifel's tense drama about two Palestinian cousins stuck in Athens and chasing forged passports, a refugee story told like a crime film.
★★★★½
Tokyo Story is Yasujirō Ozu's quiet masterpiece about an elderly couple visiting their busy adult children, a film whose gentle surface hides deep emotional force.
★★★½☆
The Protector (Tom Yum Goong) sends Tony Jaa to Australia after a stolen elephant; the story is flimsy, but its fight scenes remain some of the best ever filmed.
★★★★☆
Toni Erdmann is Maren Ade's long, excruciatingly funny German comedy about a prankster father and his corporate daughter, and it hides real grief under the gags.
★★★½☆
Toss-Up (Yazı Tura) follows two Turkish soldiers who come home wounded from service in the southeast, a bruising, uneven drama about what war leaves behind.
★★★★½
Train to Busan traps a father, his daughter and a carriage of strangers on a speeding train during a zombie outbreak, and it is as moving as it is relentless.
★★★★½
Trainspotting is Danny Boyle's electric, blackly funny film of Irvine Welsh's novel about Edinburgh heroin users, and it still feels dangerous three decades on.
★★★☆☆
Transcendence uploads Johnny Depp's dying scientist into a computer; Wally Pfister's debut looks superb and raises big questions, but it rarely comes alive.
★★★½☆
TRON: Legacy sends Sam Flynn into the digital Grid to find his father; Joseph Kosinski's sequel is a dazzling sound-and-light show with a thin story underneath.
★★★½☆
Tropical Malady is Apichatpong Weerasethakul's two-part Thai fable, a tender gay romance that becomes a hypnotic jungle legend; mesmerising, if deeply elusive.
★★★★☆
Tumbbad is a rain-drenched Hindi folk horror film about a man obsessed with a cursed family treasure, and one of Indian cinema's most striking genre achievements.
★★★½☆
Uncut Gems stars Adam Sandler as a New York jeweller who cannot stop betting, and the Safdie brothers make his chaos thrilling, funny and completely exhausting.
★★★★☆
Distant (Uzak) is Nuri Bilge Ceylan's spare, wintry Istanbul drama about two lonely cousins sharing a flat, and the quiet breakthrough of a major director.
★★★★☆
Vengeance Is Mine, All Others Pay Cash is Edwin's 1980s-style Indonesian pulp romance about a brawler and a fighter, bold, funny and deliberately rough-edged.
★★★★½
Victoria follows a young Spanish woman through one Berlin night in a single unbroken take, and Sebastian Schipper's gamble becomes a breathtaking crime thriller.
★★★★½
Viet and Nam is Trương Minh Quý's hushed Vietnamese romance between two young coal miners, a dreamlike film in which love lives in glances and silence.
★★★★☆
Vikram is Lokesh Kanagaraj's sprawling Tamil action thriller starring Kamal Haasan, Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupathi, and a thunderous crowd-pleaser at heart.
★★★½☆
Vina: Sebelum 7 Hari karya Anggy Umbara mengangkat kasus pembunuhan nyata di Cirebon lewat bingkai horor. Tegang dan efektif, tetapi caranya patut dipertanyakan.
★★★★½
Volver is Pedro Almodóvar's funny, moving melodrama about Madrid sisters, family secrets and a mother's ghost, with Penélope Cruz at her very best.
★★★★½
Vulcanizadora follows two Michigan friends into the woods to carry out a suicide pact; Joel Potrykus's deadpan comedy turns into something genuinely devastating.
★★★★★
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl brings back Feathers McGraw for a stop-motion caper about a too-helpful robot gnome, and Aardman is on glorious form.
★★★☆☆
Warkop DKI Reborn: Jangkrik Boss! Part 1 revives Indonesia's most famous comedy trio with new stars, and it is a cultural event more than a consistently funny film.
★★★½☆
The Way of the Dragon sends Bruce Lee to Rome to protect a family restaurant from gangsters; clumsy comedy gives way to some of the finest fights ever filmed.
★★★½☆
Wheels on Meals reunites Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao for a Barcelona-set action comedy whose loose plot is redeemed by some of the finest fights of the 1980s.
