I don’t mean this in a “movies suck now” kind of way, I actually think 2022 was a pretty good year for movies and 2024 will probably be better

but yeesh, 2023 seemed like a particularly bleak year for film. of those I’ve seen on this list, the only ones I’d heartily recommend are Bottoms and Nimona. maybe Beau is Afraid and Infinity Pool, but those are definitely not for everyone. oh and the TMNT movie was a lot of fun

(I haven’t seen Flower Moon yet so don’t get mad at me, Scorsesebros)

but please feel free to CMV and recommend any good movies from this year, whether they’re in this image or not!

    Only now realized that I’ve barely watched anything from this year. But I thinks that’s because I’ve been busier than usual. Infinity Pool was very interesting but I don’t know if I fully vibe with the Cronenberg (Jr) style.

      I enjoyed it a lot more than his previous film, Possessor, though it seems not many people agree with me. I liked how it accurately portrayed wealthy western vacationers as unhinged psychopaths who face zero consequences for their actions, though there’s been a lot of stuff like that lately (White Lotus, Triangle of Sadness, etc.)
