Iké Boys (2021)
The performances carry the film's slower moments, particularly Gandhi as Vik since that character has a little more internal conflict to navigate than his pal Shawn.

The Green Knight (2021)
David Lowery has created a darkly brooding, atmospheric fantasy quest that is as richly textured and layered as the 14th century medieval poem on which it is based.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)
Taking a familiar yarn and telling it in a way that has you on the edge of your seat? That's storytelling modern George Lucas would die for.

Drive (2011)
Nicolas Winding Refn had an extremely distinct vision and saw something different in rom-com heartthrob Ryan Gosling. And when those two things collided, damn, was it cool.
