An independent masterpiece, THE BEARD, was a superb 2022 release. With subject matter being hairy & controversial, dealing with issues in the gray area, Richard Brody decided not to address it during this video. It runs a little long (trimming it back was considered during editing). But thankfully it was left at full length because it is worth the viewing.
Brody was actually quite critical of it, and the film’s director took it on the chin.
@@ampgent Oh yes. Young director Sye Burns went into depression over Brody's critique. He gave up self care, only being seen publicly in a five o'clock shadow for the last 12 months.

What a refreshing list of the "year's best." Makes me want to see "Armageddon Time" and "Benediction" (I have seen, and loved, "Nope".). Thanks!
Nice list. :) 'Armageddon Time' broke my heart, 'Nope' was both a brilliant use of film technology and a terrific thriller, and 'Benediction' is on my list of movies to see, as I don't think Terence Davies has ever made a 'bad' film. Merry Christmas, and thanks for all your videos. :)
Many thanks and very fine choices!
Has Richard Brody reviewed Antkind?
Weird, I’ve seen Nope and Armageddon Time and really liked them. Terence Davies is probably my favorite film maker and for some reason, I have not seen Benediction. Thank you.
EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE
The book was so much better ☺️
Thank you for your recommendations. A lovely yet inspiring set of movies 🙏
Very nice list, Mr. Brody. Despite disagreements, I always appreciate your insight and analytical skills.
First thing I'm going to do after watching this video is going to see Benediction! Absolutely Nope and Armageddon Time! My favorite films this year so far have been Tar and Everything Everywhere All At Once
Couldn’t just pick Banshees could you?
O cheesus a new Terence Davies. Back to scheming searching looking for a way of catching it
triangle of sadness for me
YES! It successfully did what The Menu tries and failed to do; tell an engaging and impactful story about class.
Nope was full of great ideas but was ultimately a bit of a mess.
Off-topic here, but I expected a baritone voice to match Richard Brody's Lord of the Rings type sagely beard.
When we’re seeing instead of reading, the beard is very much on topic, although I would (and did) describe it as “lockdown-ish” instead of “sagely.”
absolutely loved this list!
Never say quit
Awsomely awsome 👌👍❤️Good👌👍
Definitely interested in these films.
💯👌🏼
I always read your reviews in the New Yorker. And I always disagree with everything you say and generally have the reverse opinion. And yet I continue to read them. All. Which probably says more about me than you. And probably means you're a great writer?
The omission of Everything Everywhere All At Once really stands out, a year later.
But but, what about avatar /s
Leo Tolstoy
The Oufit
Ideologically, Nope may be a relevant statement, yes, but narratively and dramatically - what filmmaking is, at the end of the day, all about, lest people forget - it’s a remarkable achievement in tone deafness.
RRR
Cyrano is an excellent movie.💔
B.Rosenberger Rosenberg
Pick a bunch high brow oscar baits, some obscure art house movies, throw in one or two fantasy/sci-fi popular big budget, and you too can make a list of best films of the year.

I didn't think Brody liked enough films to make a top 3 of the year. 😆
Nope is definitely up there as best films of the last decade. In every way.
im reluctant to watch it because I didn't like Get Out. It was underwhelming for me (as a thriller). Did you really enjoy Get Out or is this better?
@@adrianaa.4226 i love get out, but for me nope is miles better. easily one top 3 of the year. it's much scarier and looser in its form as well.
Second half is mess
Super overrated!
True! Nope was still a great movie, doesn’t, compare to us or get out at all
Yikes
this was a good year for film. many good movies out there, but the best one is Everything Everywhere All At Once. Masterpiece of a movie
The Banshees of Inisherin and Nope were the best ones. But i will not regret watching Everything everywhere again.
@@avanishdutta2658 ehh.......nope is good not great and EEAAO is good not great and yeah I agree the banshees is probably the best of the year
I love Richard Brody but he, other critics and youtube critics gotta stop completely ignoring, Asians and Asian Americans experience in the west and in Hollywood when talking about what Nope is about. Jordan Peele is constantly telling the audience to look toward others and look within instead of looking up or down or looking at only what’s in front of you or only your thoughts. Nope is about multiple people’s experiences not just black peoples.
He’s much more concerned with the overall social ideology than he is the film itself.
Dang, sounds like you really understand film
A refreshing/original list. If I see one more list with Everything Everywhere All at Once, Tar, and The Fabelmans...
or Babylon
@@ruxleecBabylon the best film of the year. Y’all will realize this in 10 years
@@Redclxxd YES!!!!!!!
Would you prefer if people lied just to be "original"?
"I'm so annoyed that a good film is popular"
Best films of 2022 "in my opinion".
This is a joke, right? Nope was on my list of the worst films of the year. All the films were American, or at least in English?
Any 2022 best list without Tar on it is invalid. (2)
Armageddon Time? is one sided the part written for the black child isn't realistic.
Nope was dreadful. The only interesting thing about it, is the chimp.
Still wearing the lockdown facial hair, eh? At least get the stache ouchya mouth, hmm? Thanks for listening.
Any 2022 best list without Tar on it is invalid.
cant agree more
Tar is a truly cowardly, terrible film
What a surprise, the New Yorker picks 3 films based on race, orientation, and religion. Can we never have good films that aren't political in nature? Are there no good stories of the human condition? None of these films were all that great, they just touched on common, woke themes. No account for taste and all, however, these picks don't appear to be about taste at all, but rather about making another, tired, slanted statement. Do better, New Yorker.
This dude clearly didn't see Thor Love & Thunder. Best movie of the year.
I wouldn't say that, but i am glad you liked it.
@@avanishdutta2658 issa joke my dude
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
New Yorker…..can a list have a movie not steeped in modern day politics and racism?
One day you will return to this comment and understand how fascinating this comment is. Be it out of wishful thinking or just plain blindness.
Have you watched the movies on this list? I’m willing to bet you haven’t
Watched the films….not the best “films of the year” except for Nope which after watching 3 times i have come to love. And as for my wishful thinking or just plain blindness comment…..congratulations on writing something so eloquent. Though my comment was based on list made by elitist publications who push an agenda on every medium we have to consume. As a moderate democrat i look at film as an art not always having to be steeped in political satire or having to be woke. Make a list and call it best films based on politics or race.
wow what an awful list lmfao
I don’t know if there is anybody in all of Condé Nast or really print media in general as bad at their job as Richard Brody. He’s about as useful as an elephant in a minefield
Amen
Bold statement considering Vogue is a Conde Nast property 😀
Let me tell you about the value of a thing I like to call a “list”!
@@ampgent lol surely Vogue doesn’t have any staff as bad as Brody
Get a haircut
ideology trumped aesthetics for this man a long time ago. mediocrity of a list.
This list was terrible. Decision to Leave, The Fablemans, Apollo 10 1/2, all were better
Richard Brodie, it’s just an awful, awful critic. He’s an archetype alright, the “cinephile” film critic who hates the majority of modern filmmaking. He wrote one good book about Godard & they gave him too big a platform.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion. Personally, I thought Nope was one of the WORST movies I've ever seen. Us at least had some stuff for you to puzzle over after it. But, what do I know...
Terrible list. None of these will be nominated for best picture. Benediction also came out last year.
This is “his” list
Wth is these "woke" picks
If you read the New Yorker you know this guy hates most movies. He said Parasite was garbage.
He has his reasons to choose them. What did you listen in this 5 minutes long vid?
I stopped at this video cuz this guy looks legit- honest. Unfortunately after he got to his 3rd pick I felt like each movie had been picked for an element of political correctness on his part. If so, I wish people would realize honesty seems to be more of a cure to America’s ills than mean or ‘well-meaning’ lies.

So, you live in Florida.
Log off the internet just for a day and go outside. I beg you.
You have internet brain, please log off and touch grass
Nice comments. How dare this person have a different take. I mean, these comment sections aren't meant for meaningful discussions, right? Bunch of muppets.
The Best Films of 2022 Provided that You Have Exactly the Same Taste as this Pretentious, Geriatric Phony.
I have zero interest in watching any of these movies. Thank you very much, kind sir.
It doesn’t matter how artful the film is because if it’s not woke enough it won’t make his list.
