Beach Rats disappointed me too because her last film -- which nailed the rhythms of courtship -- impressed me.

It's the people who've watched A Quiet Passion that deserve an award.

A Quiet Passion was the best film of 2016, but only award eligible this year.

Oh I do love it when we talk release date eligibility.

yes, Frederik doesn't get enough chances to be a supercilious dick.
The only rhythm of courtship that interests me is "Let's screw."

I wondering, is The Square's absence from the Sight and Sound list because the critics didn't like it or because it hasn't been widely enough seen?
― Dan S, Wednesday, 6 December 2017 06:14 (six years ago) link
The former, surely, since you have Zama/ Western/Faces Places at 4,5 and 6.
― Susan Stranglehands (jed_), Wednesday, 6 December 2017 10:44 (six years ago) link
I guess people are pissed about Twin Peaks turning up on these lists
― Number None, Wednesday, 6 December 2017 11:03 (six years ago) link
Cahiers du Cinema: Split? A little confused, real sore thumb in that list.
Simon H: I'm amazed at the Mudbound hype too. Solid but not spectacular in any way, and had a couple really poor sequences. The cockpit scene should have just been edited out if they didn't have the budget - it took me right out of the film. Given the subject matter and the buzz, I expected more of an emotional kick.
Maybe the sound team should get a nomination though because lord did I grimace at the sound of the leg re-break. Ugh.
― finlay (fionnland), Wednesday, 6 December 2017 11:04 (six years ago) link
The Square hasn't yet been released in the UK, which might partly account for its absence from the S&S poll in particular. But it also isn't very good.
― Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 6 December 2017 11:05 (six years ago) link
The editor wrote in Sight & Sound that they'd actively encouraged those polled this year to vote for any moving pictures, not just cinema, so I guess that boosted Twin Peaks. Lol at Cahiers stanning for Split. Is it because he's an auteur?
― Alba, Wednesday, 6 December 2017 12:30 (six years ago) link
Only one person in the printed edition gave Detroit a vote (haven't checked the online-only ballots). What a huge fall from grace. I thought it was terrific.

Marginally better than Split, but I can at least understand people hyping up Portman's overacting. I could have sworn that was a 2016 release anyway.
