Career-best performances from Caitríona Balfe & Jamie Dornan. Technically, it's a near-perfect movie, but the story doesn't quite match up.īelfast - 8/10 - It makes you feel nostalgia and longing for a place you've never known, which I loved. Another unique biopic from Pablo Larrain. Spencer - 8/10 - I loved Jonny Greenwood's score (best of the year IMO), the costume design, and Kristen Stewart's performance. It felt a lot like Babel/Fargo with a more modern crime. I love movies where you see intertwining perspectives that slowly lead to a satisfying conclusion. Only the Animals - 8/10 - Aside from the hilariously-ridiculous twist ending, this was a very solid mystery-thriller.

Power of the Dog - 8/10 - This could sweep the Oscars and I wouldn't be mad.

I think Adam Driver was miscast but overall
RATING OF MOVIES IN THEATERS NOW MOVIE
It's a shame this movie was largely ignored. The Last Duel - 8/10 - Historical-epics/mid-budget movies like this are an endangered species and I've missed them so much. Titane - 8/10 - Raw is one of my favorite movies of the past decade and Titane as a follow-up didn't disappointment. It's extremely layered and well-performed. I'm a sucker for sun-drenched Mediterranean settings and the slow, tense build-up in this movie was great. Murina - 8/10 - Biggest surprise of the year and the best debut film I saw in 2021. I cried like a baby at the end, and Will Smith/Aunjanue Ellis/Jon Bernthal were an amazing trio and elevated this to be one of the best sports-biopics of the past decade. King Richard - 9/10 - This could have been another cheesy, shallow ego project (ahem, like American Underdog that I saw on January 1st, and will be low on the 2022 list), but it did so much more. This movie came out of nowhere and is probably the one I regularly think about the most from 2021. The pacing is a little bit off and it's very depressing, but it works. I love a good punch like this once in a while. I don't rank anything I've seen outside of theaters.Īsia - 9/10 - Depressing, heart-wrenching, and a closing scene that'll make you want to curl up into a ball and cry. Hopefully next year will be better and I'll get close to my 200 goal. I also skipped on a few other big titles ( Annette, The Suicide Squad, Godzilla vs. I got COVID in mid-December so I'm running behind on a lot of the more recent big movies and/or award-contenders ( Spider-Man, Nightmare Alley, Licorice Pizza, Passing, Matrix 4, Red Rocket, The Lost Daughter, Tender Bar, etc), but I should get to most of those in the coming week or so. I try to stay away from reviews and trailers as much as possible so I can go in blind for most movies. I'll admit that my scores this year are probably more inflated than usual because being back in theaters on a regular basis was amazing. Scores sometimes change after re-watch and ranking, but most stay the same. My reviews/scores are not meant to be anything serious, and it's really just a personal enjoyment scale, I don't keep a checklist or anything, just a ticket stub and a rating when I leave the theater, sorted at the end of the year with a few random thoughts.
RATING OF MOVIES IN THEATERS NOW FULL
This is my full ranking of every movie I saw in theaters in 2021. I like to keep stubs/dates/scores/etc for fun. Usually 3-5 times a week but significantly less over the past 2 years. Every year, I try to go the movie theater as much as possible.
