Our film critics rate and rank the latest films out now in UK cinemas.
1. The Artist | Rating: * * * * *
A silent celebration of early Hollywood that is visually ravishing, heart-warming and utterly beguiling.
2. The Iron Lady | Rating: * * * *
Meryl Streep's performance is astonishing. Some viewers may be disappointed that a Thatcher biopic lacks an explicit political agenda, but the film succeeds as a drama for that very reason.
3. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol | Rating: * * * *
Tom Cruise rises to the challenge in the latest 'Mission: Impossible' caper, a fast-paced, gravity-defying thrill ride.
4. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo | Rating: * * *
Rooney Mara glistens like an icicle in the new American adaptation of Stieg Larsson's pulp thriller The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
5. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)| Rating: * * *
Starring Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law, 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows' is the closest action cinema has ever come to pantomime.
6. Wreckers | Rating: * * *
A debut drama from British director DR Hood, starring Claire Foy and Benedict Cumberbatch
7. Another Earth | Rating: * * *
Another Earth is an admirable debut feature by Mike Cahill.
8. The Lady | Rating: * *
Luc Besson's biopic is a wan tribute to the Burmese democracy campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi, a pale imitation of an inspirational fighter for democracy.
9. Goon | Rating: * *
Seann William Scott stars in a violent comedy about the brutish world of semi-pro ice hockey.
10. Mother and Child | Rating: * *
Annette Bening's (The Kids Are All Right) film about maternity, in all its most yearning and thwarted forms, is such organisational effort that the movie itself resembles protracted labour.
