"After Tiller" (PG-13, 1:28) A partisan document in the culture wars, Martha Shane and Lana Wilson's documentary tells the story of four doctors who the film says are the only ones in the United States openly performing third-trimester abortions. Ms. Shane and Ms. Wilson honestly present the views of supporters of legal abortion, making their film a valuable contribution to a public argument that is unlikely to end anytime soon. A. O. Scott "Baggage Claim" (PG-13, 1:36) In David E. Talbert's bland romantic comedy, a flight attendant (Paula Patton) looks for a marriageable mate by arranging chance encounters with ex-boyfriends through the help of two friends (Adam Brody and Jill Scott). Nicolas Rapold "Battle of the Year" (PG-13, 1:49) Even with much frenetic activity on screen, this 3-D dance film is miraculously boring. Josh Peck brings a welcome sweetness in his role as a stereotypical nebbish, but nothing can enliven the film's derivative plot and dull cast. Miriam Bale "Blue Caprice" (R, 1:33) This prelude to the Beltway sniper attacks of 2002, is hauntingly imagined by Alexandre Moors, with Isaiah Washington and Tequan Richmond as the shooters, an angry, unhinged military veteran and his troubled, quiet young protégé. ★ "Blue Jasmine" (PG-13, 1:38) A brilliant, shattering Cate Blanchett plays a wealthy woman brought devastatingly low - think of Ruth Madoff by way of Blanche DuBois - in Woody Allen's most sustained and satisfying film since "Match Point." The excellent, characteristically Allen-eclectic cast includes Alec Baldwin, Sally Hawkins, Louis C. K., Bobby Cannavale, Andrew Dice Clay, Peter Sarsgaard and Michael Stuhlbarg. Manohla Dargis "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2" (PG, 1:35) The food on Swallow Falls island comes to life and has an appetite. Lacking the clever characterization and plot of the previous animated feature, this sequel about an island of living food products instead offers beautiful color, almost psychedelic bits of plotting and some of the weirdest cute critters (a pet strawberry and a family of emoji-style marshmallows) in memory. Bale "Don Jon" (R, 1:30) Joseph Gordon-Levitt wrote, directed and stars in this amusing, ambitious comedy about a young New Jersey man whose addiction to pornography creates real problems for him when he meets a woman (Scarlett Johansson) who's hooked on storybook romances. It's smarter than it sounds. With Julianne Moore. "Elysium" (R, 1:49) It's back to the dystopian future with "Elysium," a cautionary shocker from the director Neill Blomkamp about a Hobbesian war of all against all from which only Matt Damon can save us. ★ "Enough Said" (PG-13, 1:31) In Nicole Holofcener's flawlessly written, moving new comedy, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss plays Eva, a divorced Los Angeles massage therapist who simultaneously starts dating Albert (James Gandolfini) and massaging his ex-wife, Marianne (Catherine Keener). In exploring the farcical implications of this situation, Ms. Holofcener goes deep into the ethical and emotional complications of modern middle-class adulthood. With Toni Collette and Ben Falcone as Eva's married friends, Tracey Fairaway as her daughter, and Tavi Gevinson as the daughter's needy friend Chloe. ★ "Frances Ha" (R, 1:26) In this comedy of delayed adulthood and difficult friendship, Greta Gerwig is Frances, an aspiring dancer zigzagging through New York. Noah Baumbach's film, written with Ms. Gerwig, evokes the French New Wave with its on-the-fly black-and-white cinematography and the fizzy recycled music on the soundtrack, but it also captures, wittily and tenderly, the particular anxieties and pleasures of being young right now. "Generation Iron" (PG-13, 1:46) Vlad Yudin profiles Phil Heath, Kai Greene and other bodybuilders vying for the 2012 Mr. Olympia, the world's highest professional bodybuilding title. The documentary, a sequel of sorts to the Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle "Pumping Iron," is a primer on the state of the sport: showing wealth and misfortune; debates about the roles of genes, science and hard work; and the role of corporate sponsorship and performance-enhancing drugs. Nicole Herrington ★ "The Grandmaster" (PG-13, 1:48, in Mandarin and Cantonese) This hypnotically beautiful dream from the Hong Kong visionary Wong Kar-wai opens with curls of smoke, eddies of water and men soaring and flying across the frame as effortlessly as silk ribbons. At its center is Ip Man (Tony Leung), a martial-arts master who taught Bruce Lee and whose troubles (including with a beautiful challenger played by Ziyi Zhang) at times mirror those of his country. This isn't your grandfather's chopsocky flick; it's one of the truly galvanizing cinematic experiences of the year.
