I’m a Chazelle defender, so I will eventually see Babylon, but it certainly seems like a big swing.

I am too, I don't think he's made a bad film yet (though I do think La La Land is a tad overrated, and First Man may actually be is best). This is something else though.

I think it’s really good 🤷🏻‍♂️ I like how indulgent and messy and angry it is

I didn't dislike it, but I'm also not sure it was good. A mess, indeed, but lots of great stuff and big ideas still in there. Feel like it may be a grower (or just fall off, who knows).

Still not sure how I feel about this one but I think I may really like it/love it even though I think the ending fell flat. Excited to rewatch this but the spectacle of it all made it a great theatre movie for me

I made a tentative list of my 10 favorite movies of 2022 over on Letterboxd. I still have yet to see many of the year's more acclaimed films, so I'm sure this list will change over time.

I remember seeing a tweet a while back that suggested going through each month and picking the best movie that you watched for the first time that month. I thought it sounded like a fun idea so I used Letterboxd to look back through my first-time viewings this year and this is what I came up with:

January: Silence (2016)
February: Nightmare Alley (2021)
March: The Batman
April: The Northman
May: The Devils (1971)
June: Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe
July: Michael Clayton (2007)
August: The Night House (2020)
September: Mad God (2021)
October: The Invisible Man (1933)
November: The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)
December: Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
 
I’m trying to finalize my top 10.

I just watched Decision To Leave today and loved it a lot.


Edit: so I signed up for 3 months of Mubi for $1 to watch it. And they just sent an email saying I can send a link for the film so someone can watch it for free. If you want it, just let me know here and I can message it to you!
