PIG : What sounds like a joke movie pitch ("Nic Cage hunts his stolen pig, its BABE meets JOHN WICK") is the most poignant, beautiful slow burn. Who would've thought the best action scene of the year would be Nic Cage brutally reviewing a meal? #FOTY#BESTFILMSOF2021
DUNE : He did it - that crazy Canuck did it. Perhaps the only thing more amazing than Villeneuve's stunning adaption of a long considered impossible-to-film book was that it was a huge success and that the second part will actually be made. #BESTFILMSOF2021
TILL DEATH : I'm not sure how I found this film as the pitch (Megan Fox outwits killers in a snowed in lake house) sounds like trash. But it turned out to be a brilliantly nasty genre film as Fox is alternately the mouse or the cat in her husband's revenge plot. #BESTFILMSOF2021
LAST NIGHT IN SOHO : A lushly shot spooky psycho drama as a young fashion student finds she can mind meld with Anya Taylor Joy, an aspiring nightclub singer in the 60s. OR CAN SHE? Edgar Wright's least Edgar Wright film and that's a good thing. #BESTFILMSOF2021
TITANE : All the reviews going on about people walking/passing out of screenings, as a lady serial killer smashes her face after fucking a car, forgot to mention that most of the film is actually sad firemen slowdancing with each other. Very, very French #BESTFILMSOF2021
THE GREEN KNIGHT : Stuck in COVID limbo for years, unfortunately I found the Green Knight to be underwhelming - nowhere near as weird as the trailer suggested. I wanted more talking foxes damnit. But still beautiful film making. #BESTFILMSOF2021
MALIGNANT : For the first two acts, I thought this was a boring horror that bordered on self parody. Then the third act twist happened and it became the most deliriously over-the-top, laugh out loud nonsense and I love it. #BESTFILMSOF2021
CENSOR : delightfully sleazy dive into 1980s video nastys with a lush gialloesque hallucinatory vibe with an amazing ending. I laughed at the audacity of the final shot. #BESTFILMSOF2021
