编者按：12月，那些电影值得看？BBC（英国广播公司）为你精心挑选了十部电影，其中包括《侠盗一号：星球大战外传》（Rogue One: A Star Wars Story）。

Sing

The latest from US animators Illumination Entertainment (Despicable Me, The Secret Life of Pets) “starts out fun and then sneaks up on you for a final stretch that is both rousing and genuinely emotional”, according to The Wrap.

La La Land

Critics predict Oscar glory for this musical romantic comedy from Damien Chazelle (Whiplash), which stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as a jazz musician and actor chasing their dreams in a Technicolor Hollywood.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Set shortly before the original Star Wars film, this space opera from Lucasfilm follows a group of Rebel spies on a mission to steal the plans for the Death Star.

Assassin’s Creed

Marion Cotillard and Michael Fassbender star in this adaptation of the action-adventure video-game series. Fassbender is Callum Lynch, who unlocks his ‘genetic memory’ to relive the experiences of his ancestor Aguilar, a member of a secret Assassins Society in 15th-Century Spain.

Jackie

This drama about the days following the assassination of John F Kennedy garnered four stars from BBC Culture’s critic Sam Adams, who argued that “the ideas in play are so heady they’re enough to sweep you away on their own”.

Silence

Director Martin Scorsese has been trying to make this film for more than 25 years, ever since he first read the 1966 novel by Japanese author Shūsaku Endō. Set during the 17th-Century Christian purges in Japan, it focuses on the real-life Portuguese Jesuit missionary Father Cristóv?o Ferreira, who abandoned his faith after being tortured and became an interrogator of Christians.

Paterson

“This is a movie in which very little happens. A bus breaks down. A dog eats a notebook.” As The Independent’s review reveals, film-maker Jim Jarmusch is doing what he does best in his latest movie: resisting conventional Hollywood storytelling.

The Unknown Girl

The latest from the Dardenne brothers – two-time winners of the Palme d’Or – has divided critics. While some have been put off by what they’ve seen as heavy-handed moralising, it has been praised by others for its searching investigation of moral codes.

Life, Animated

This documentary, which follows a young man with autism who learned to communicate with his family through classic Disney films, has been called “heart-warming and heart-breaking all at once”.

Patriots Day

Mark Wahlberg stars as a police sergeant in this account of the 2013 Boston marathon bombing and the subsequent manhunt from director Peter Berg (Deepwater Horizon). Pieced together from the stories of a Special Agent (Kevin Bacon), a police commissioner (John Goodman), a sergeant (JK Simmons) and a nurse (Michelle Monaghan), the docudrama achieves high levels of suspense.
