I abide by Sight & Sound's newly unveiled list of the best films of 2019.
More than 100 voters, selected by the prestigious film magazine, have produced a list of the 50 best movies of 2019 British-born Joanna Hogg’s “The Souvenir” took top honors, followed closely by Bong Joon-ho’s “Parasite” and Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman.”
Hogg’s film, a tale of a female director both looking back and moving forward, garnered rave reviews when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this past January. The film has an impressive 92 on Metacritic and is at 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. However, despite the unanimous critical accolades, the film was barely seen by anyone as it only made $1 million dollars at the U.S. box-office.
Here are the top 20 best movies from the Sight and Sound poll (which is actually a top 50 and can be found in its entirety inside the magazine’s January 2020 issue).
