Dec 27, 2022 · In a year of great movies, there were plenty of great scenes. Watch our favorites, including RRR, Nope, Glass Onion, without even logging on to Netflix. The most exciting, hilarious, and...
- 'Laundry and taxes with you' in Everything Everywhere All At Once. "So, even though you have broken my heart yet again, I wanted to say, in another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you."
- Naatu Naatu in RRR. S. S. Rajamouli has been consistently putting out remarkable cinematic epics for decades, but "RRR" is his magnum opus. Everything you've ever heard about "RRR" is true, and it's one of the few films in existence that can't be ruined by hype.
- A friendship is formed and the late title drop in RRR. A young boy is in peril. A train has exploded, leaving the child stranded under a bridge and powerless to move as fire closes in.
- Measuring the basement in Barbarian. If we were to hand out an award for most surprising movie of 2022, it would almost certainly go to "Barbarian." Director Zach Cregger's descent-into-craziness horror flick was about as unpredictable and bonkers as mainstream movies get.
Quentin Tarantino refuses to watch Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Dune’ films: ‘It’s one after another of this remake’
“I’ve been doing it for a long time,” he explained. “I’ve been doing it for 30 years, and it’s time to wrap up the show,” he told CNN in 2022. “I’m an entertainer ...

Aftersun’s climax involves an intense threading of a grown-up Sophie’s (Celia Rowlson-Hall) imagined sighting of her father, Calum (Paul Mescal), in the strobe-light chaos of a nightclub with the end of their Turkish vacation 20 years earlier. Set to the isolated vocals of David Bowie and Queen’s “Under Pressure,” the scene brings to the surface wh...
Romain Gavras plunges viewers into the immediacy and intimacy of urban warfare in Athena with frequent use of extended takes. None establish the setting quite like the film’s opening as residents of Paris’s beleaguered Athena banlieue take their anger directly to the police officers who besiege their community. In a 10-minute-plus unbroken burst of...
Early in Andrew Dominik’s Blonde, an unknown Marilyn Monroe (Ana de Armas) goes above and beyond with her richly textured, emotionally wrenching audition for The Asphalt Jungle. But she lands the part because the director (Garret Dillahunt), a stand-in for John Huston, notices that she’s got a knockout body as she walks away from him. The irony-lac...
In a film full of clues into Steven Spielberg’s own origin story, none explains his fearful and awesome control of the camera quite like the senior ditch day film that young Sam Fabelman (Gabriel LaBelle) projects at senior prom. After dutifully capturing a series of seemingly banal beachside scenes of his classmates, Sam’s directorial eye emerges ...
With Nope, Jordan Peele uses big-budget filmmaking to provocatively explore the very ethics of showbiz spectacle. In an unnerving flashback scene, the chimpanzee star of the sitcom Gordy’s Home attacks several of its human co-stars during the filming of an episode. A marvel of sustained tension, the nearly wordless sequence is shot from the perspec...
Throughout Tár’s runtime, Todd Field and his crew keep things consistently compelling visually and aurally. The film’s pièce de résistance, set during one of Lydia Tár’s (Cate Blanchett) classes at Julliard, deliberately reveals this to be a story about cancel culture. Captured by cinematographer Florian Hoffmeister in a showstopping single take th...
Recalling the oneiric and elaborately choreographed dance numbers of classic Hollywood musicals, the wild suspenders bit from S.S. Rajamouli’s RRR is a remarkable piece of craftsmanship. And in how the exuberant dancing routine breaks up a stodgy British ball, the sequence is also memorable for its subversiveness in addressing colonialism. Greene
The unspoken jury of any cinematic courtroom drama is the audience, deliberating alongside the characters as new evidence emerges. Alice Diop makes that explicit in Saint Omer’s culminating speech by the defense attorney (Aurélia Petit), delivered as a solemn direct address to the camera. As Maître Vaudenay invokes the chimera of motherhood, a dime...
While Top Gun: Maverick introduces us to an entire ensemble of new cadets attending the elite fight training school from which Maverick (Tom Cruise) graduated, the film winnows down the action to him and Rooster (Miles Teller). Each of their presence hints at an absence—that of Maverick’s former partner and Rooster’s late father, Goose, who died in...
Throughout Triangle of Sadness, Ruben Östlund often voices class critique in blunt, obvious terms, but his approach works wonders when it embraces lowbrow humor. To wit, the brazen, downright Buñuelian sequence where the guests aboard an exclusive yacht sit down for a multi-course meal, throughout which Östlund proceeds to take the piss out of them...

- Colin Farrell-The Banshees of Inisherin, The Batman, After Yang, Thirteen Lives. Colin Farrell starred in four films throughout 2022 and gave vastly different performances in each; all were excellent.
- Cate Blanchett - Tár. Cate Blanchett is considered one of the best actors of all time for a variety of reasons (Blue Jasmine, Don't Look Up, Carol, and The Aviator are four of them), and Tár continues to prove the point.
- Austin Butler - Elvis. “It isn’t just the records, no you must have Hollywood,” sings legendary guitarist and songwriter Mark Knopfler on his track Back To Tupelo dedicated to the King, Elvis Presley.
- Michelle Williams - The Fabelmans and Showing Up. Michelle Williams gave two diametrically opposed but almost equally masterful performances in 2022 with The Fabelmans and Showing Up, working with two great directors (Steven Spielberg and Kelly Reichardt).
