BEST OF MOVIES 2022 - Road to Gold

3/12/2023

The third time is the charm applies to my latest revision of my Best Of/Fav List of 2022 films. As I write this, it's just a few hours away from the Oscar Awards ceremony. While this is not reflective of what I think will necessarily win, I do believe my #1 and #2 selections are close contenders for the big prize, with Everything Everywhere All at Once coming out on top for probably all the "top categories," including Best Picture. 

Not surprising, there are several on my list that are not in the running, and even some that most people haven't seen and/or haven't had opportunity to see yet. That includes The Grab, a riveting and important documentary that has yet to get a distributor and is only on the film festival circuit. I viewed it, like Decision to Leave, Argentina 1985 and Boy From Heaven, at the Mill Valley Film Festival. Despite their lack of awards contention or even distribution, I think they are worthy of my list and stand as the best I had the opportunity to see in 2022. I also strongly urge you to seek these films out, along with Triangle of Sadness (one of the best dark comedies ever!), which is now available on one or two streaming platforms, at first opportunity. 

In the meantime, enjoy what should be a relatively uneventful Oscars show, especially compared to last year's program, and with what I predict will be few surprises.
