Links It's in 2018 that the wheels really came off the annual review. Work commitments meant I had to balance this and that so Review 2018 consisted of just two posts listing my ten worst and least favourite films of that year.
In hindsight I can't really argue with the choices although of the top ten, I've only revisited Spider-Man, Molly's Game and Annihilation since. But every year brings new delights and introductions to unseen old favourites so who has the time?
Perhaps there should have been space in the top ten for Black Panther, I was obviously trying to promote some of the less seen films that year and Anchor and Hope, the lesbian narrowboat romance was certainly that.
The Square was clearly picked as the favourite because I was still cross about the sharp decline in the quality of the Liverpool Biennial. With a new creative team, the 2021 edition was a slight return to form.
The bottom ten still makes me shiver, especially The Snowman and not just because of the amount of ice on screen. Folding Ideas has since posted avideo explaining the problems with the edit and I'd rather rewatch that than the film itself.
