Over 100 North American colleagues [reviewers, directors and curators] ranked their favorites in two categories: 1) those that received theatrical runs and 2) those viewed this year but currently with no announced plans for U.S. theatrical distribution. For each ballot, a first-place choice was allotted 20 points, 19 for second, and so on. This is the list compiled by Film Comment of the highest scoring theatrically released films.
