★★★★☆
Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore is Shoshannah Stern's documentary portrait of the Deaf actor, told largely in her own signed words and frank about the hard parts.
★★★★☆
Marlina si Pembunuh dalam Empat Babak karya Mouly Surya memindahkan film western ke savana Sumba: kisah balas dendam seorang janda yang tenang dan tajam.
★★★½☆
Master is Lokesh Kanagaraj's Tamil action thriller pitting Vijay's drunken professor against Vijay Sethupathi's gangster, an electric star clash in a baggy film.
★★★★☆
Mat Kilau is Syamsul Yusof's Malaysian silat epic about Malay warriors resisting British rule in 1890s Pahang, a rousing, record-breaking action spectacle.
★★★★½
Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed is Apple TV+'s darkly funny thriller in which Tatiana Maslany's divorced fact-checker turns sleuth. Twisty, tender and hard to stop.
★★★½☆
May Queen is a long 2012 Korean melodrama about a resilient young woman chasing a career tied to the sea. Absorbing and sincere, if heavy on familiar twists.
★★★½☆
Megadoc is Mike Figgis's fly-on-the-wall documentary about Francis Ford Coppola making Megalopolis, a candid look at obsession, money and creative risk.
★★★★½
Memoir of a Snail is Adam Elliot's stop-motion tale of a lonely woman separated from her twin, a bleak, very funny and deeply humane animated film for adults.
★★★★½
Memories of Murder is Bong Joon Ho's 1980s serial-killer procedural, a darkly funny and haunting portrait of detectives, and a country, out of their depth.
★★★½☆
Merantau is Gareth Evans's Indonesian martial-arts drama about a young silat fighter's rite of passage in Jakarta, the rough first draft of The Raid's brilliance.
★★★★½
Mere Humsafar is a 40-episode Pakistani family drama in which Hania Aamir and Farhan Saeed play a couple facing a cruel household. Tender, gripping and heartfelt.
★★★★☆
Mere Paas Tum Ho is the 2019 Pakistani drama about a betrayed husband that became a national event. Gripping, grandly acted, and troubling in its moral lens.
★★★½☆
Mersal is Atlee's Tamil action thriller in which Vijay's doctor and magician go after a corrupt private-healthcare system, a loud mass entertainer with a message.
★★★★½
Meteor Garden (2018) is China's lavish remake of the F4 campus romance, in which a working-class student takes on four rich heirs. Sweet, funny and addictive.
★★★★½
Metropolis is Fritz Lang's 1927 silent epic of a future city split between rulers and workers, a visionary landmark whose images still shape science fiction.
★★★★☆
Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories is a gentle Japanese anthology set in a tiny all-night diner, where each dish opens a customer's story. Quiet, kind and consoling.
★★★★☆
Minari is Lee Isaac Chung's tender, semi-autobiographical drama about a Korean American family farming in rural Arkansas, lifted by a scene-stealing grandmother.
★★★★☆
Mindhunter is Netflix's chilling 1970s crime drama about FBI agents interviewing serial killers to invent profiling. Brilliant and cold, but left unfinished.
★★★★½
Miracle in Cell No. 7 is Turkey's remake of the Korean tearjerker about a wrongly jailed father and his daughter, and it is shamelessly, effectively moving.
★★★★☆
Mirzapur is Prime Video's violent Hindi crime saga about a war for control of an Uttar Pradesh town. Pankaj Tripathi dominates; later seasons lose some bite.
★★★★☆
Misfits is the anarchic British series about young offenders on community service who gain superpowers in a storm. Filthy, funny and brilliant, then uneven.
★★★★☆
MobLand is Paramount+'s London gangster saga with Tom Hardy as the fixer for a crime family run by Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren. Pulpy, mean and very watchable.
★★★★½
Modern Times is Charlie Chaplin's Depression-era comedy in which the Tramp battles factory machines, hunger and the law, and 90 years on it is still hilarious.
★★★½☆
Molli and Max in the Future is a homemade sci-fi rom-com following two friends across years and galaxies, its charm outrunning a small budget and patchy jokes.
