Best Movies of First Half of 2. With new movies from Christopher Nolan, Kathryn Bigelow, and Steven Spielberg on the horizon for the second half of 2. Truth be told, there have been no shortage of quality releases so far — you just have to look a little harder than the likes of “Beauty and the Beast” and “Wonder Woman,” although both those hits are encouraging in their own way. Because studios tend to hold their serious Oscar contenders till Q4, any mid- year list of favorites naturally skews toward fun, so don’t be surprised to see comedy and horror films among the films that have electrified us so far.
Except for “Get Out” — the biggest and most welcome surprise so far this year — the list is alphabetical. Get Out Jordan Peele’s racial- nightmare horror movie (pictured, above) is ticklish and disturbing enough to feel like “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” directed by Roman Polanski. The powerful connection it has made with audiences demonstrates one of the eternal — but perpetually forgotten — lessons of the movie business: If you dare to make the forbidden film that everyone says you’re not “supposed” to make! In this darkly witty collaboration between director Miguel Arteta and screenwriter Mike White (their first dual outing since “Chuck & Buck” and “The Good Girl”), Salma Hayek is all luminous angelic flakiness as Beatriz, a downtrodden New Age massage therapist who gets invited to a client’s high- powered dinner party. There, a proudly piggish real- estate baron (John Lithgow) brings out her vengeful inner tiger.
Is he a Trump figure? Yes, but less for his tycoon bluster than for the way he stands in for the death of empathy. That makes Michael Showalter’s indie gem not just a Sundance breakout film but a witty, heart- rending new model for the romcom genre. Set in Chicago, it’s about Kumail (Kumail Nanjiani), a stand- up comedian from a traditional Pakistani Muslim family, and Emily (Zoe Kazan), whom he falls in love with but secretly thinks he’s forbidden to marry.
Romance and comedy are but two dimensions in a tale of illness, identity, and the way the peskiest of parents can be your best friends. This unapologetic exercise in style might not be deep, but it makes for some swell summer entertainment. Though it barely made a blip in theatrical release, watch for this deeply felt festival gem when it hits home video in August. If the answer is anything less than 1.
Danish war movie, a runner- up for the foreign- language Oscar, in which a team of German soldiers (kids, really) are tasked with removing landmines buried by their comrades. In portraying Batman (played to manly- voiced comic perfection by Will Arnett) as a ruthlessly monomaniacal, paralyzingly insecure compulsive loner, disconnected from everything but his heroic self- branding, Chris Mc.
Kay’s animated dazzler comes closer to portraying a superhero as a complex being than any comic- book movie has in years. Whether dancing along the Seine or dangling from the Eiffel Tower, the duo make Paris their playground.
And don’t miss the last performance by Emmanuelle Riva, who died in January. Intense hazing scenes prove every bit as scary as the infamous finger- eating moment in a fever- dream that dares us to identify with the monster, a shy French med student who develops a taste for human flesh. It allows you to glimpse the grand design of events in a way that even the Israeli leaders who presided over them often didn’t. Night Shyamalan pulled off his best surprise yet, delivering ingenuity on a shoestring with this tricksy multiple- personality thriller, which embraces its limitations while making the most of its central asset: a tour- de- force lead performance from cracked- out chameleon James Mc. Avoy. The movie has it all: comedy, romance, intrigue, and a scene- stealing turn from Bill Nighy.
