With the end of 2021 just around the corner, let's have a look at the films released so far this year that were scored the best of the best by IGN's critics.
But first, a few notes: IGN rates its movies on a scale of 0-10. The "best reviewed" movies listed here all scored 8 or above. The IGN review scale labels any film scored 8 as "great," 9 as "amazing," 10 as "masterpiece". That said, read on for the best movies of 2021 -- listed in score order -- from The Father, the only film to earn the rare 10/10 review score in 2021, to a new entry in the beloved Ghostbusters franchise to a big-screen adaptation of one of the most beloved plays of all time and much more...

Read the Review: “Not everything works in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story — how could it, when the 1961 classic is nigh unimpeachable? — but his visual translation of some of the original’s latent ideas makes it a complementary piece. At once rougher and more dazzling, it has tremendous high points that seldom overlap with its predecessor, resul...
Read the Review: “The Father is a devastating masterwork by first-time director Florian Zeller, based on his play Le Père. The film follows an old man with dementia (Anthony Hopkins) and manipulates its editing and set design until you can longer trust your perceptions — much like its main character. It features career-best work from all involved, including Hopkins, as a man trying desperately to cling to his old life, and Olivia Colman as his daughter, who cares for him at great personal cost.” - Siddhant Adlakha

- Dune. If at any point you've pondered what's been missing from our lives for most of this past year, the answer lies about half an hour into Denis Villeneuve's Dune.
- Sound Of Metal. Film reviews rarely call out sound designers, but Nicholas Becker's extraordinary work on Darius Marder's stunning debut deserves all the plaudits (not to mention an Academy Award) as it puts you inside the head of heavy metal drummer Ruben (Riz Ahmed), losing not only his hearing, but also his raison d'étre.
- Minari. First things first, it's pronounced Mih-na-ree, and it's a weed that purifies the ground and the water around it. This is what Lee Isaac Chung's mini masterpiece is all about, the deep connections that root us.
- Nomadland. If there was an award for the filmmaker behind the two most divergent films of 2021, it'd have to go to Chloé Zhao. While she ended the year with a big swing by releasing epic superhero fantasy Eternals – possibly Marvel's most divisive movie ever, with a story spanning 7000 years and a cast comprising 10 cosmic gods – she kicked it off with awards favourite Nomadland.
