    The Raid: Redemption
    It's exhausting, exhilarating, riveting stuff that fans of high-octane filmmaking should not miss.

    Keep the Lights On
    A haunting, immersive portrait of a romance between two men, one that's marked - and marred - by both drug dependency and emotional codependency. Not unlike last year's gay-themed drama, "Weekend," it proves an important and mature piece of business.

    One Life
    The wildlife documentary One Life is a visually gorgeous, at times astonishing screen experience.

    A Place at the Table
    The filmmakers vividly illustrate the power and depth of the long-spiraling problem of "food insecurity" by immersing us in the hardscrabble lives of a cross section of our nation's poor.

    Consuming Spirits
    With its startling mix of 16-millimeter-shot, handmade animation styles using stop-motion, sketches, collages and models, along with uncensored characters often resembling cadaverous marionettes, this twisted look at life in a faded Appalachian town is one decidedly idiosyncratic ride.

    No Place on Earth
    Add one more extraordinary survival tale to the canon of Holocaust documentaries: No Place on Earth.
    • Metascore: 75

    Graceland
    Graceland is a tense, twisty cinematic artichoke brimming with moral complexity and intriguing shades of gray.
