Blade Runner: 2049
(Denis Villenueve, 2017) · Denis Villeneuve's sequel to Blade Runner returns to the synth-laden, neon-drenched streets of LA. Officer K (Ryan Gosling), a young Blade Runner tasked with the retirement of a Nexus 9 replicant, comes across a buried and forgotten secret large enough to topple the very structure of society. With vibrant and lush visuals to complement an extravagant vision, Blade Runner: 2049 both lives up to its predecessor and stands on its own, delivering a powerfully emotive experience.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer
(Yorgos Lanthimos, 2017) · In the follow up to his breakout hit The Lobster, director Yorgos Lanthimos serves up an ice cold shot of cinematic adrenaline. Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell play a pair of highly respected doctors, luxuriating in their own success - until a malign force encroaches on their immaculately manicured existence. This film presents a fresh take on the elemental question of revenge, posed with Lanthimos' characteristically idiosyncratic and surreal touch.

But when an obnoxious older couple shows up unannounced, they initiate a series of symbolic events that propel the story into the realm of apocalyptic allegory. Both claustrophobic haunted house thriller and biblical allegory, Mother! offers up a thrillingly visceral experience.

Lady Bird
(Greta Gerwig, 2017) · Lady Bird transcends its familiar premise, and all other attempts at containment, with its irrepressible energy and deeply humane vision. The loving but fraught relationship between Lady Bird (the self-named heroine, given life by Saoirse Ronan) and her mother (a knockout performance from Laurie Metcalf) takes center stage; but director Gerwig's cup runneth over with love, gracing every character, even "minor" ones, in this thoroughly wonderful reflection on life's disappointments.
