I haven't been to that many movies in the theatre this year. I liked Book Club and Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story, and didn't care for Love, Simon.
Black Panther
Where is Kyra
A Quiet Place
Annihilation
Paddington 2
To be fair, there's a lot I haven't seen yet, but that's a pretty strong 5.
My top 3 so far would be:
Black Panther
A Quiet Place
Hereditary
The others I've seen so far this year have been varying degrees of good but none for a top of the year list: A Wrinkle in Time; Love, Simon; Ocean's 8; Ready Player One
And don't even get me started on the distribution schedule this year. This spring was insane with women-lead films (Annihilation, Red Sparrow, Tomb Raider, Life of the Party, Tully, I Feel Pretty, Overboard) that were all released so closely together and I just couldn't get to them and I feel like now the pickings are slim.
I thought my favorite was The Rider - but if The Strange Ones can count, it may be that. I really appreciate you writing about it. I may have missed it otherwise and I loved it. Beyond those two, Double Lover, and sure, Paddington 2 (although I may have slightly preferred the first one).
Hereditary
Claire's Camera
Black Panther
Tully
Annihilation
But I've seen very few films this year.
