I don't always agree with Richard Brody but his analysis is always intelligent and insightful. As a film critic he would be much more appreciated in Europe. Especially France.

[@cinesthesia7]

All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt was my favorite film of the year. And Earth Mama and Passages are both in my top 10. Earth Mama is way up there for me. Savanah Leaf is a director to watch.

[@eddenoy321]

Sounds like some of these films would be worth a watch. Thanks.

[@rui569]

agree

[@thecinematicmind]

Passages and Earth Mama absolutely agree.

[@jesseb.semple6018]

Thank you for this.

[@tyrannosaurusburke]

I wasn't crazy about "Ferrari", but I still appreciate your insight. Maybe I'll give that movie another look.

[@mistertamura6190]

Thank you. I will look these up.

[@RobertoLopezFlores]

Buenísimo maestro!

[@catalina9844]

Ok CIVIC is a masterpiece

[@TiagoCavalcanti-ji6hu]

Hello! I saw "Showing Up" in your list. Care to elaborate? Please... I really tried to watch it, but, oh... Well, there's literally nothing to spoil, so... I got curious about this one. Also, how did you like the latest Win Wenders? Cheers!!!

[@ChristopherCampNYC]

The best

[@leifhedendal8890]

Afire and May December ftw

[@TheMontagPress]

Ferrari aside, nobody movies never get nominated. These are spirit awards movies.

[@musicproduction1330]

Rustin. Will somebody like Rustin? Great film.

[@likearollingstone007]

I couldn’t finish Passagesbc I was bored

[@pameladaley955]

Thank you, Richard - ALWAYS for what you do!

[@h0tpink88]

The King don’t miss

[@leftyla]

Ferrari. Mmmmkay…

[@nemohalperin]

Ferrari was laughable. It's beyond me how a seasoned film critic could ever think this was worthy of recommendation, let alone a contender for a top award. I've seen Dolmio adverts with more convincing Italian characters!

😂

[@HonkeyKong54]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@likearollingstone007]

Working to hard to try to be original…

[@haroldjoseph8296]

What a terrible list

[@firewithfire848]

Wow, thesis movies look terrible.

This comment is not helpful.

[@pb.j.1753]

Brody is a basic A24 stan lol

[@mickyfitz29]

Oh come on. He eviscerated Everything Everywhere All at Once. He basically called it Daniels’ MCU demo tape. The dude just has idiosyncratic taste.

[@Jesse__H]

That's not helpful or accurate.

[@adrienneislost1320]

you can't be serious

[@huwmm]

Liars at New Yorker need to apologise and pay damages to Hasan Minhaj

[@HumanInterested]

Not diverse enough for me. You should have included the one about the albino amputee.
