A list of all the 2023 Academy Award Nominees.

I (Tarush Mohanti) had a hard time narrowing down my top ten films of the year, but I’m pretty confident that this list represents my favorite movies of 2022. This exercise had me thinking of what I look for most in a film, and I arrived at a few different criteria.

This exercise had me thinking of what I look for most in a film, and I arrived at a few different criteria.

  1. Is the movie entertaining? Did I have fun watching it?
  2. How unique is this movie – did I feel like I was watching something new?
  3. Would I rewatch this movie?
  4. How stylish is the movie? I’m big on mood – did this film feel immersive?
  5. Are the characters unique, memorable, nuanced, and realistic? Were the heroes likable and the villains detestable?
  6. Is this movie memorable?
  7. Would I proudly recommend the movie?

Notably absent categories are story and acting. I’ll admit – I have a hard time with those two, but I think that my “uniqueness” and “characters” categories account for those, respectively.

I wrote down every movie I loved this year; I don’t think I forgot anything, but there are movies I’ve been meaning to see, including BABYLON, BARBARIAN, X, PEARL, and DECISION TO LEAVE.

2022 was an excellent year for movies; I have a feeling we’ll be looking back and rewatching releases from last year for a while. I imagine this list may change a bit when looking back from the future, but for now, I hope you enjoyed reading about my top ten films of 2022 on #SpoilerFreeReviews here:
