And some flippant summaries and general thoughts on last year's films.
Most
muddled motivation during the final act: ‘Nope’
It’s on-the-nose, but it just makes me smile: ‘Men’
Unexpectedly exuberant ending: ‘Hit the Road’
Now that’s a superpower showdown: ‘The Innocents’
Take-what-you-want-from-it buffet: ‘Bones and All’
Tenser than any thriller: ‘Playground’
My gut was wrenched and then I was deeply moved: ‘All
Quiet on the Western Front’
Pretty but troubling in retrospect: 'Blonde'
Eye-rolling coda that nearly undermines a long movie: ‘The Batman’ … yes, but Barry Keoghan!
Genre pandemic films, doing what it does best: ‘The Harbinger’ and ‘Ego’
Best alternative universe/multiverse movie: ‘LOLA’
Best flirtation: 'The Worst Person in the World'
Unexpected fun and/but gave me genuine unease: ‘Deadstream’
Best Odd Couple: ‘Something in the Dirt’ and ‘Next Exit'
Best mother role: Judy Davies in 'Nitram'
And: ‘Mad God’ rather than ‘Pinnochio’
