Best Movies of 2019: Critics Pick Year’s Best Films & Performances

 

"In adherence to the requirements for the survey, all of these titles opened theatrically in 2019. However, critics traveling the festival circuit were exposed to a much wider array of options, some of which may not come to theaters until next year. To acknowledge that aspect of the marketplace, our survey also invited critics to vote on the best upcoming 2020 releases they’ve already seen. Votes were too diffuse for much consensus, but several festival favorites received multiple votes, including Kelly Reichardt’s 19th century Oregon buddy movie “First Cow,” the Brazilian Weird Western “Bacurau,” Pedro Costa’s Lisbon docudrama “Vitalena Verala,” and the Riz Ahmed musical drama “Sound of Metal,” which Amazon Studios acquired out of TIFF this fall."
