Jun 28, 2013 · Features a top-notch cast, a few beautifully observed moments, and some amusingly bitchy dialogue. But its rambling, episodic structure and gallery of troubled characters will ultimately prove too off-putting to attract theatrical audiences.

- 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. But with a commanding Frances McDormand at the wheel, support from a cast of real-life nomads and indie superstar Chloé Zhao behind the camera, Nomadland was a naturalist drama that got right under the skin of late capitalist America and its disenfranchised outsiders.
- 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.

• Available on Disney+ Though it underperformed at the box office, those who did see Raya and the Last Dragonwere mostly blown away. The new Disney flick does everything that audiences would expect from a new movie from the studio, as the animation is yet again better than it has ever been. But more than anything, it increases the ethnic representa...
• Available on HBO Max Being one of two huge musicals getting released in 2021 (with the other being Steven Spielberg’s remake of West Side Story,) In The Heightskicked off the musical season with a great start.

• Available on Paramount+ After such a long wait, as the movie was first screened in a couple of festivals over a year ago, A Quiet Place Part IIis finally available to the public, and in many ways, it even surpasses the brilliance of the original.

• Available on Netflix Though director Adam McKay rose to fame for directing a number of hugely popular comedy movies, such as Anchorman and Step Brothers, his most recent films have pushed into the realm of political satire, with his latest being perhaps his most provocative yet. Don't Look Up presents a classic Hollywood disaster plot as a planet...
• Available on Disney+ On paper, an origins story about a villain who skins dogs to make fur coat sounds ridiculous, and like it’d surely bomb at the worldwide box office, but Cruelladid the complete opposite. Due to the fact that it combines everything that makes a great movie, from the soundtrack to the detailed costumes, to the performances acro...
• Available to purchase on Prime Video As Nobody has so many parallels to John Wick, it can sometimes feel like a carbon copy of the hit assassin franchise. They both follow retired assassins, both feature the Russian mafia, and both have a unique currency for their criminal underworlds. But it’s just as entertaining as the John Wick series, as the...

• Available on Disney+ Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings followed the slightly more tepid response to the MCU's first movie of 2021, Black Widow, which had a famously contentious same-day streaming release. But Shang-Chibecame a bigger hit for Marvel Studios even if the box office hadn't quite returned to any kind of normality when it premi...
• Available on Showtime One of the best legal dramas in recent years, The Mauritanianfollows a man who was imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay for 14 years and was subjected to torture during that entire time.

• Available on HBO Max Being another historical drama based on true events, just like The Mauritanian, Judas and the Black Messiahis one of the most intense biopics of the 21st century.
