Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
Rounding out the list is the movie of the decade. Somehow completely insane and absurd and yet universally and even multiversally relatable. Hilarious, thrilling, touching—this is the total package and an absolute masterpiece.

The Banshees of Inisherin (2022)
Combine the acting talents of Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson with a script and direction from Martin McDonagh and you have a real treat. This iteration happens to be about a friendship fallen apart on a sparsely populated island.

Tár (2022)
One of the greatest performances of the decade, Cate Blanchett embodies the fictional composer Lydia Tár so completely, people thought it was based on a real person. An amazingly crafted tale of a dominant force coming unraveled.

Anora (2024)
Sean Baker remains an expert at portraying characters on the margins, and takes this title character on a crazy journey that turns downright hilarious in the second act. But there’s something deeper underneath that surfaces at the film’s end.

The Holdovers (2023)
A new Christmas Classic. A really somber and serene undertone coupled with the comedic chemistry of Paul Giamatti and Dominic Sessa.

Aftersun (2022)
A slow, gut-punch of a film about a woman reflecting on her last time seeing her dad as a teen on holiday. Brilliantly told with a scene set to “Under Pressure” that will absolutely wreck you.

Promising Young Woman (2020)
A rape revenge thriller that subs in the system-at-large for an individual abuser, with a razor-edge suspense and sharp comedy throughout.

The Substance (2024)
This film takes off from the start, giving one of the wildest rides of the decade while exposing the shallow emptiness of beauty standards and the self-destructive pursuit of approval.

All Quiet on the Western Front (2022)
Not a big war movie guy, but this remake of the classic novel pulled me in with it’s bleak but beautiful opening sequence and never let me go.

On the Count of Three (2022)
Jerrod Carmichael’s directorial debut is a darkly comic drama about two friends spending one last day together before following through on a suicide pact.
