I've liked or loved most of the Kiarostamis I've seen, but I confess 24 Frames flew right over my head. don't understand the appeal at all

Paddington 2 is from 2017 in my book, but if it came out somewhere in 2018, it's definitely among the best of that year.
the bear film was US 2018, because Weinsteins: when Harvey finally went under investigation, Bob scrambled to sell it elsewhere so it wouldn't go down with the ship

I'd have loved a trance; I found myself calculating remaining runtime

yeah, and having said all that, it's still my least favorite Kiarostami (of the ~10 I've seen).
Best video store rental so far has been TEN. the DVD includes 10 ON TEN, which is just 80 minutes of film school from Kiarostami himself in a car. Fucking incredible, both of them. Saw they didn't get any votes in the recent poll, not sure how obscure those films are.

I quit. It seemed honorable as I was no longer writing.
Same, but at the same time it feels more honorable to remain as a bulwark against the Green Book demo.

would happily join a critics' circle for elitist, embittered former OFCSers. run the poll after the OFCS' closes, and everything that wins one of their awards is disqualified

Pretty hard to argue against this lineup, overall.
Neither Elephant nor Bear in that lineup, though

I'm glad you liked Transit as much as well. One of the best films I saw at Berlin. Felt a bit tired at Ash, even though it's probably the best of the three recent big Jia Zhangke films. I miss the scrappiness a bit, though :(
