It was a great year at the movies. Here were ten narrative features and five documentaries I wholly adored.

A second twenty-five (because I can).

For me, here were 2019’s six most disappointing motion pictures.

A few odds and ends from 2019 that struck my fancy. Enjoy!

My top 100 films of 2019. Enjoy!

By challenging audiences to recognize and understand this fact Cretton is adding his voice to the growing chorus attempting to see that this happens, that in and of itself reason enough to give the Just Mercy a look.

This Little Women kept me on my toes, and even though I’ve read Alcott’s novel multiple times and have watched Armstrong’s sublime adaptation on numerous occasions, I still felt like I was experiencing this tale for the first time while watching Gerwig’s film.

There is nothing polite about brothers Benny Safdie and Josh Safdie’s newest hyper-adrenalized ticking clock drama Uncut Gems.

Cats might be a mess, but it’s a one-of-a-kind incredibly memorable mess (for better and for worse), and for all I know that’s entirely by design.
