- Licorice Pizza. Film. Comedy. What a joy Paul Thomas Anderson’s freewheeling film turned out to be. It cartwheels around the San Fernando Valley armed with all the local knowledge you’d expect (PTA, of course, grew up there), a cast of maverick characters – real (Bradley Cooper’s deranged movie exec Jon Peters) and otherwise (Sean Penn’s William Holden-like Hollywood warhorse, Jack Holden) – and a script loaded with zingers.
- Nomadland. Film. Drama. A van-dweller who drives across the US badlands and shits in a bucket is not normally what Best Picture winners are made of.

As Twitter might have put it: ‘Da fuk, #Camps?!’ Her subversive western showed what we’ve all been missing: superlative control of mood, glorious widescreen vistas and a smuggled-in subtext that uses the traditional trappings of the western to strip down alpha masculinity to its faulty parts.

- Petite maman. Céline Sciamma, France. Sciamma’s miniature forest fairy tale perfectly conjures the mysteries of a mother-daughter bond shaded by grief. We said: “An extremely small and exactly perfect film, Céline Sciamma’s Petite maman might at first appear dwarfed by her last title, Portrait of a Lady of Fire.
- Drive My Car. Hamaguchi Ryūsuke, Japan. Murakami Haruki’s short story of a driver growing closer to her passenger is adapted by Hamaguchi Ryūsuke into an understated and precise reflection on language, emotion and loss.
- Memoria. Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Thailand. Tilda Swinton wanders the streets of Bogota while striving to understand the strange noise repeatedly sounding in her head, in the Thai master’s latest enigmatic revelation of ambiguous mental states.
