- “Small Axe: Lovers Rock” It’s hard to believe that British filmmaker Steve McQueen gave us not one, not two, not three … but five new movies this year through his dazzling “Small Axe” anthology.
- “Nomadland” Chloe Zhao’s “Nomadland” unfolds as a deliberately paced series of observations. As the camera drinks in the gorgeous, sometimes ostentatious views of the outdoors, Zhao allows us to nonchalantly visit the characters who inhabit this small corner of the universe.
- “ David Byrne’s American Utopia” "American Utopia" shows what happens when two pop culture giants at the tops of their respective games finally collaborate, bringing a lifetime of experience to bear, and treating their shared love of live performance as a common language.
- “First Cow” “First Cow” opens in the world of today, and a discovery both unsettling and of some archeological/sociological interest. The narrative is then borne back into the past, and eventually it dawns upon the viewer that the discovery is also a giant spoiler, and wishes it weren’t.
- Lovers Rock. Steve McQueen, UK. ► Trailer. A house party thrown by young Black Britons in London in the early 1980s becomes a haven in the rapturous, sublime second film in Steve McQueen’s landmark five-film Small Axe collection.
- Time. Garrett Bradley, US. ► Trailer. Bradley’s diary film follows Sibil Fox Richardson, who for nearly two decades has been campaigning for the release of her husband, Rob, after he was sentenced in 1999 to 60 years in prison for a robbery.
- First Cow. Kelly Reichardt, US. ► Trailer. Reichardt gives us a deliciously laconic vision of the pioneer American melting pot with this playful, poignant fable of a couple of furtive cakebakers in 1820s Oregon.
- I’m Thinking of Ending Things. Charlie Kaufman, US. ► Trailer. Kaufman’s claustrophobic chamber theatre piece-cum-road movie-cum-psychological horror – made for Netflix and released straight to the streaming platform, bypassing cinemas – stars Jessie Buckley as a young woman who travels with her boyfriend (Jesse Plemons) to meet his parents, played by Toni Collette and David Thewlis.

- 'Killers of the Flower Moon' (2023) Director: Martin Scorsese. Martin Scorsese has been making feature films for well over half a century at this point, and 2023's Killers of the Flower Moon shows that the legendary filmmaker - now in his early 80s - is still capable of greatness.
- 'Summer of Soul (…or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)' (2021) Director: Questlove. With the well-received re-release of Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense, as well as the huge success of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, it's possible to see the 2020s as one where the concert film is making a comeback.
- 'Poor Things' (2023) Director: Yorgos Lanthimos. Yorgos Lanthimos was very prolific from the mid to late 2010s, putting out three films in relatively quick succession: 2015's The Lobster, 2017's The Killing of a Sacred Deer, and 2018's The Favourite.
- 'Drive My Car' (2021) Director: Ryusuke Hamaguchi. The 2020s has, so far, been a particularly great decade for Japanese cinema, as demonstrated by the aforementioned The Boy and the Heron and Godzilla Minus One.
