- Oppenheimer. After a quarter-century in the business, Christopher Nolan appears to have finally gone thermonuclear in what we consider to be one of his very best films.
- Past Lives. Every so often, a new filmmaker emerges with an astonishing amount of confidence and fully formed vision. Writer-director Celine Song is one such filmmaker, and Past Lives is one such film—a shimmering and aching love story that has the maturity to ponder about the roads not taken and the loves never fulfilled.
- Barbie. Greta Gerwig‘s Barbie is not only the most profitable movie of the year, it’s also one of the most colorful, nuanced, and purely enjoyable experiences you could have in 2023.
- Poor Things. Director Yorgos Lanthimos, screenwriter Tony McNamara, and star Emma Stone’s reunion after The Favourite is the best Frankenstein movie we’ve had in decades.
Dec 28, 2023 · From pulse-pounding thrillers to tender love stories, we're rounding up the best movies of 2023.
- Killers of the Flower Moon" Martin Scorsese’s monumental adaptation of David Grann’s non-fiction bestseller contains a bounty of viewing pleasures, but in the main it is something like an anti-entertainment.
- Past Lives" There is a knowing slipperiness to writer-director Celine Song’s debut “Past Lives.” Though Nora (Greta Lee) and her family leave South Korea, moving away from her childhood best friend Hae Sung (Teo Yoo), this film is not about immigration.
- Oppenheimer" Christopher Nolan’s epic follows its titular character, J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy), through the creation of the atomic bomb during World War II.
- May December" It's fascinating to watch people try to put Todd Haynes' latest masterpiece in a box. Is it camp? Is it a drama? A comedy? There's almost a meta level to this conversation because it's a film about an actress who thinks she can put people in a box too.
- Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. Average Score: 4.880/5. In a year full of “Part 1s,” none dazzled quite like Spider-Man: Across The Universe, which received 20 perfect “5” scores from the 24 members of the CinemaBlend staff who watched it.
- Godzilla Minus One. Average Score: 4.75/5. In a year when many mega-blockbusters fell on their face, Godzilla Minus One is a breath of fresh air. It was made without an extraordinary budget, but it feels as epic as any of the nine-figure titles that we’ve seen from the franchise, and the King of the Monsters has rarely felt more dangerous.
- Past Lives. Average Score: 4.688/5. Life is long and full of diverse and interesting chapters, and Celine Song’s Past Lives is a gorgeous cinematic representation of that idea.
- Oppenheimer. Average Score: 4.452/5. Cinema can be a powerful tool in reflecting upon the darkness of history, and we saw that exhibited in devastating fashion this year with both Martin Scorsese’s Killers Of The Flower Moon and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.
Jan 11, 2024 · Now that the sun has finally set on 2023, it’s time to look back over last year’s movie landscape to reflect on the films that have stayed with us the most and, for a few hours at a time, reminded us what cinema is capable of at its best.
