The well-being of our home, planet Earth is definitely something that was enlightened by a film like\u00a0<strong><i>Becoming Cousteau<\/i><\/strong>. Ultimately another topic that was extremely relevant in this period of isolation was reflecting upon the nature of our perception.

It was early in the year, and not a serious drama\u2013so people are bound to overlook it\u2013but <strong>Werewolves Within<\/strong> was the first great movie of the year, and is still one of the best. While it took some getting used to at first, by the time <strong>Annette<\/strong> ends and the point fully comes across, it is hard to deny just how clever and well done the film is as a whole. <strong>The Novice<\/strong> is now only being released for audiences to see, but as first time films go, Lauren Hadawa\u2019s debut effort is top notch.\u00a0I didn\u2019t really expect to love <strong>Titane<\/strong> as much as I did. I really was unaware of where the film was heading and was beyond pleased with the route it took. While <strong>Agathe Rousselle<\/strong> is already garnering praise for her performance, I also think Vincent Lindon should be in the talks about supporting actor nods. Speaking of supporting actor nods, the fact that only a few critics circles have given her the proper accolades, Kathryn Hunter in <strong>The Tragedy of MacBeth<\/strong> should be the only choice for best support actress in any awards talk.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7141\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/NobuhiroHosoki-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/NobuhiroHosoki-1-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/NobuhiroHosoki-1-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nobuhiro Hosoki<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u30fbC\u2019mon, C\u2019mon<\/p>\n<p>\u30fbtick, tick\u2026BOOM! <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u30fbBelfast<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u30fbNot Going Quietly<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u30fbMass<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u30fbLocorice Pizza<\/p>\n<p>\u30fbDrive My Car<\/p>\n<p>\u30fbVortex<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u30fbThe Rescue<\/p>\n<p>\u30fbAnnette<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>C\u2019mon, C\u2019mon<\/strong>, I was enthralled by what could be a mundane life, but beautifully captured in black and white, and very moving in the end. <strong>tick, tick\u2026BOOM!<\/strong>, the film really take us inside the mindset of Jonathan Larson, who created the musical, Rent. <strong>Belfast<\/strong>, was a love letter to Belfast, where director Kenneth Bragnah grew up. <strong>Not Going Quietly<\/strong> was a triumphant message from Ady Barkan, who diagnosed ALS. <strong>Mass<\/strong> was the best assemble cast film about aftermath of a violent tragedy that affects the lives of two families. <strong>Licorice Pizza<\/strong>, Paul Thomas Anderson made an endearing film about two kids going through an adolescent to adulthood. <strong>Drive My Car<\/strong> was carefully driven script from start to finish, left me wondering how you cope with the death of someone who close to you. <strong>Vortex<\/strong>, it was really scary depiction of dementia between a couple. <strong>The Rescue<\/strong>, it\u2019s an amazing reenactment of what was really happening in Thai cave rescue in 2018. <strong>Annette<\/strong>, it felt like a Shakespearean play except everything taken place in the world of your own, which is like Globe Theatre in a way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s New Year\u2019s Eve, it\u2019s time to look back at the past year in cinema and select the top 10 best films of 2021.
