List of Movies AV Club didn't review in 2018, but are considered good.

If you watched every film The A.V. Club reviewed in 2018, you’d walk away with a fairly comprehensive grasp of the year in movies. But it wouldn’t be a complete one. Because for as much as we aim to write about all the new cinema that matters, plenty of gems slip through the cracks in our coverage plan. And so once annually, we atone for our oversights with a rundown of the best of what we didn’t review over the previous 11 months, singling out movies that opened in American theaters or premiered on streaming platforms—and, when possible, pointing readers toward where they can watch them now. This year, the list includes unconventional sports documentaries, Netflix rom-coms, challenging arthouse experiments, sleeper thrillers, and one shocking supercut of vehicular mayhem. Think of it as an alternate best-of list for 2018, as well as a belated showcase for the under-the-radar films that should have been on our radar from the start.
