- BBC Culture film critics Nicholas Barber and Caryn James pick their highlights of the year, including Nomadland, Another Round and West Side Story. Warner Bros Pictures.
- Judas and the Black Messiah. The true story of Fred Hampton, the Black Panther Party leader who was murdered in 1969 on orders from the FBI, becomes high drama in director Shaka King's film, which is by turns suspenseful, action-filled and intimate.
- The Green Knight. The Green Knight features castles, giants, witches and damsels in distress, just like countless swords-and-sorcery adventures before it.

- The Father. Film. Drama. Anthony Hopkins was a deserving Best Actor winner for his lead role in a dementia drama with a twist. But major props, too, to director Florian Zeller.
- The Power of the Dog. Jane Campion hadn’t made a movie since Bright Star nearly 15 years ago. 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.
