I’ve watched over 300 movies this year, but these were my faves. Which ones have you seen? Martin Scorsese received a lot of pushback for comparing the Marvel films to amusement park rides, but James Cameron seems to have embraced that for his Avatar franchise. Much like the previous two films, Avatar: Fire and Ash is about the experience, about popping on your 3D glasses and letting the IMAX screen fill your field of vision as you and your fellow audience members spend a few hours transported to the world of Pandora. Timothee Chalamet delivers a captivating performance as a fast-talking table tennis player in relentless pursuit of greatness in Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme. Director Selvamani Selvaraj’s new Tamil film, Kaantha, gives us a vintage noir-style thriller about the deadly ego clash between Dulquer Salmaan as a superstar actor and Samuthirakani as an auteur director, with Bhagyashri Borse as the debutant actress caught in the middle. While the story might be set in the past, the film represents a bold new step for South Indian cinema. Rahul Ravindran’s The Girlfriend is a poignant story that has women everywhere feeling seen—so of course, YouTube is filled with reviews from salty men pouting about it. The Predator movie franchise has gone from gory R-rated action to feeling like a Star Wars spinoff with Predator: Badlands. Baahubali: The Epic is like my cinematic dream come true. After watching The Beginning and the Conclusion so many times at home, this remix gave me the chance to experience S. S. Rajamouli’s saga as one epic film. Rose Byrne gives a powerhouse performance in Mary Bronstein’s If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, a movie that aims to make you uncomfortable, and boy does it succeed! Despite some strengths, After the Hunt is a somewhat disappointing meander through what might have been a fascinating story. The three central performances from Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield, and Ayo Edebiri are praiseworthy, but I wish the screenplay had given us more. Instead, many of the ideas here are never quite explored.
