Soul- Pixar takes on the meaning of life through the life & “death” of a Jazz musician and it’s brilliant. Jamie Foxx and Tina Fey are perfect together.
Da 5 Bloods-
Spike Lee re-imagines “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre” in contemporary
Sound of Metal-
centered on a rock drummer losing his hearing, Riz Ahmed’s performance is
tremendous.
First Cow-
period western that is a quietly effective ode to friendship.
My Octopus Teacher- a documentary about a man’s relationship with an octopus. Just try
not to get swept up in its beauty and intelligence. Simply amazing.
Emma- Anya
Taylor–Joy stars in this period piece that’s a fresh take on the classic
novel.
Ma Rainy's Black Bottom- Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman anchor a wonderful cast in this
filmed version of August Wilson’s great play.
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm- Sacha Baron Cohen once again exposes the ugly underbelly of
America and adds a touching story of a father and daughter’s growing
relationship.
The Invisible Man- Elizabeth Moss’s acting elevates this movie to A status as well
as one incredible shocking scene.
Tenet-
You’ll either love it or hate it but you can’t ignore the fact that Christopher
Nolan is in a class by himself when it comes to mind blowing movie making.
Small puzzles wrapped inside a bigger puzzle that may be impossible to figure
out but exciting to watch.
Honorable mention-
“The Queen’s Gambit”- while not technically a movie, this multi-part show on Netflix felt like a film and was worth every single moment.
