Star Wars: The Last Jedi 2017
A slow meandering second act holds it back from perfection but that's quickly forgotten when you enter the pants-wettingly exciting hour-long climax.

-
Call Me by Your Name 2017
It's as good as they all say, and contains the best 'dad speech' in film history.
-
War for the Planet of the Apes 2017
An underrated trilogy with a very satisfying and throughly entertaining finale.
-
Last Flag Flying 2017
The first Linklater film during which I couldn't sense his presence as an auteur, but enjoyed nonetheless.
-
-
A Ghost Story 2017
It requires patience and an attentive audience but if you're won over by the magic realism of the film it becomes a beautifully rendered meditative poem that will undoubtedly make you ruminate on life's greatest mystery.
-
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri 2017
A profane and darkly hilarious tale about anger and empathy helmed by McDormand in her best performance since Fargo and firmly establishes Martin McDonagh as my favorite working screenwriter.
-
The Florida Project 2017
Perfectly captures the aimless delight of early childhood that can thrive, for better or worse, in the trenches of poverty and neglect.
-
Thor: The Dark World 2013
The rare, if not singular, franchise that seems to improve with each installment, bring it on Taika!
