Re: Dynamic Top Tens of 2024
As this monstrously shitty year comes to a close, it's also goddamn sad to see one mediocrity after another held up as some kind of masterwork - even the better ones tend to be thin and shallow work with nothing substantial to say. For a variety reasons, it makes sense that the very best films drew most of their power from non-fiction elements and made so much of everything else this year seem barren and empty.
1. No Other Land [Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal, Yuval Abraham, Rachel Szor]
2. Intercepted [Oksana Karpovych]
3. Dahomey [Mati Diop]
4. Nickel Boys [RaMell Ross]
5. Hard Truths [Mike Leigh]
6. A Traveler’s Needs [Hong Sangsoo]
7. Scénarios + Exposé du Film annonce du film "Scénario" [Jean-Luc Godard]
8. It’s Not Me [Leos Carax]
9. Hit Man [Richard Linklater]
