What a year it’s been. Throughout all the change and turmoil, however, there have always been movies to fall back on. I saw a total of 80 new films this year, and 50 of those were on the big screen. There were certainly some lowlights, but I think 2024 was a great year for cinema.
I’ve outlined what films made me want to come back for a second viewing, and others that nearly had me walking out of the cinema. There were so many that didn’t quite make the cut for best of the year. Anora stuck out for its incredible performance by Mikey Madison as the titular character. Another was Drive Away Dolls which somehow went under a lot of people’s radars but I loved it for its humour and bonkers storyline.
