The Best Movies of the 2010s
Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood: Quentin Tarantino’s penultimate film (or so he claims) creates a riveting revisionist history by re-imagining.
Lincoln: Had Steven Spielberg simply made his there-goeth-the-great-man drama as a showcase for Daniel Day.
The Tribe: Most films try to bombard the senses — Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy’s suffocatingly tense debut was the decade.
Black Panther: Marvel’s first black superhero epic instantly made history — it was also the first Marvel movie.
Elena: Russia’s preeminent modern filmmaker Andrey Zvyagintsev delivers a distancing moral drama.
Amour: An extraordinary love story revolving around mortality — and proof that yes, arthouse feel-bad auteur Michael.
Personal Shopper: Continuing a collaboration with her Clouds of Sils Maria director Olivier Assayas, Kristen Stewart cemented.
Hereditary: Ari Aster’s auspicious debut delivers a witchy fright fest — and an elegy on inherited trauma — starring.
Black Coal, Thin Ice: Cops, corpses, corruption, a coal factory and life in China’s north country — filmmaker Diao Yinan’s procedural.
I Am Not Your Negro: The idea was to take an unfinished book idea from James Baldwin — which would’ve traced our nation’s failure.
