- Nomadland. Directed by Chloé Zhao. Tone poem, nouveau Western, elegy for the American dream: Nomadland can feel like all those things, and more.

- Soul. Directed by Pete Docter and Kemp Powers. When Pixar is good, it is very, very good; when it's great, it can touch the profound. Soul, about a middle-aged jazz pianist (voiced by Jamie Foxx) who finds himself trapped in purgatory on the eve of his big break, feels as tender and funny and gorgeously human as anything on screen this year.
