Most film critics who post annual 10 Best lists follow simple rules, and I am no exception — include a few likely Oscar contenders, a few popular hits, and at least one arcane title from the wild blue yonder, either foreign or up-and-coming indie, presented in short readable blurbs.

And yes, while I keep to a pure Top 10, I do cheat a bit with some extra categories below. So shoot me.
1. “The Jungle Book”
Jon Favreau and screenwriter Justin Marks took Rudyard Kipling’s classic tales of Mowgli and his brothers and, with help from James Cameron and Martin Scorsese’s go-to VFX master Rob Legato, created a seamlessly natural digital world with many vibrant animal characters — and one live boy (Neel Sethi).

Greta Gerwig, Julianne Moore and Ethan Hawke star in Rebecca Miller’s witty, invigorating film about a woman’s attempt to become pregnant
A romantic comedy worthy of the name isn’t what I expected of Rebecca Miller, whose previous pictures have been strained and unrelaxed exercises, often based on her novels. But Maggie’s Plan is terrifically funny and enjoyable – a metropolitan comedy in the former high style of Woody Allen, directed with elegance and dash by Miller and co-scripted by her with publisher-turned-screenwriter Karen Rinaldi. Greta Gerwig stars in her idiot savant Annie Hall mode as Maggie, a New York lecturer in “ficto-critical anthropology” who is trying to become a single mom using sperm donated by an old school contemporary who is now making a fortune marketing pickles. Her plan is to get pregnant within four months, but then she has an encounter with handsome, distrait colleague John...

Although a plan is at the center of Rebecca Miller’s (The Ballad Of Jack And Rose) new film, the director barely shows her hand as she lets the characters seemingly fall as they may in her new romantic comedy. Now, calling it a rom-com may do it a bit of disservice. This cute and light film is more akin to the work of Woody Allen. So much so that I’d argue that it is actually more of a “Woody Allen film” than anything the bespectacled director has delivered in recent years.
Maggie’S Plan revolves around upper-middle-class white people speaking like academic intellectuals as they try to figure out what they want in love and life, all the while, strolling through the streets of New York City. Does that ring an Allen bell to you? This isn’t the first time actress Greta Gerwig has sauntered into this type of film.

Greta Gerwig isn’t exactly a movie star, but she’s an auteur. Her characters aren’t all the same, but they’re close enough to inhabit the same emotional zip code: young, over-intellectual women struggling with self-definition and the direction of their lives. Rebecca Miller directed “Maggie’s Plan,” adapting an unpublished novel by Karen Rinaldi, but the film is so reminiscent of movies like “Frances Ha” and “Mistress America” that it’s hard to believe Gerwig didn’t write the script herself.

I first discovered Rebecca Miller at Sundance 1995 with her remarkable debut, family drama "Angela," and have been tracking her very different films ever since, from "Personal Velocity," an early digital experiment based on her short stories, to "The Ballad of Jack and Rose" starring her husband Daniel Day Lewis, to her most accessible and entertaining movie to date, "Maggie's Plan," which played to raves at the Toronto and New York film fests and hits theaters via Sony Pictures Classics on May 20. Miller explains her idiosyncratic career trajectory, how she writes and puts these movies together, and the pleasure she found shooting this delightful romantic triangle (based on a story by Karen Rinaldi) in New York City with her gifted trio of actors, Greta Gerwig, Ethan Hawke and Julianne Moore.

Maggie’s Plan begins with a compelling premise – Maggie (Greta Gerwig) is ready to have a child with or without a man, and enlists the proper doofus (Travis Fimmel) to supply the semen; little does she know she will quickly fall in love with John (Ethan Hawke), whose marriage to Georgette (Julianne Moore) is almost beyond the rocks. And believe it or not, the titular plan isn’t even about the intended insemination, though that storyline nicely establishes how quickly our designs for our lives go awry. No, the true plan will be saved for after the film cuts ahead three years, when Maggie and John have built a bit of a life together.
But that’s for you to discover. Writer/director Rebecca Miller (working from a story by Karen Rinaldi) has prematurely entered late-Woody Allen territory. She has a tremendous, purposefully arch premise, strongly-defined eccentric characters, and...

Sony Pictures Classics has acquired distribution rights in North America to “Maggie’s Plan,” as well as the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Cis, Hungary, Romania, China and various other Asian territories. One of the hits of the recent Toronto International Film Festival, the fifth feature from “Personal Velocity” writer-director Rebecca Miller, by far her funniest, is based on a story by Karen Rinaldi. The New York romantic comedy will also play at the New York Film Festival, which gets under way on Saturday. This witty comedy of manners stars Greta Gerwig as a 30-something academic who seeks to have a child on her own. She arranges for a sperm donation from a handsome friend but winds up in love with a professor (Ethan Hawke) who is writing a book and raising two children but not feeling supported by his careerist wife (Julianne Moore). Needless to say, complications ensue, and this well-matched,...

While he’s more recently been known for horrors and collaborating with Richard Linklater on the likes of Boyhood, Ethan Hawke has decided it’s time for a few more laughs. He’s joined the cast of Rebecca Miller’s new film Maggie’s Plan alongside Bill Hader, Maya Rudolph, Travis Fimmel, Julianne Moore and Greta Gerwig. Miller, known for films such as Personal Velocity, The Ballad Of Jack And Rose and The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee, has here adapted a story from an unpublished novel by Karen Rinaldi. Gerwig is starring as a young woman trying to make her own way in New York City and all the emotional peaks and troughs that come with it. It’s aiming to put a new spin on the well-worn romantic comedy idea. Though she’d originally wanted to kick off shooting late last year after Gerwig joined the film in January,...
