Top 10 Films of 2021

I saw more movies than ever before in 2021, screening 292 titles, my most ever in a calendar year. I’m excited that my top ten films, which were hard to select, were all actually released in 2021, though I saw half of them at festivals (and six in person!). I’ll be “handing out” my AFT Awards, my annual film awards, next month, but for now, here are my favorite films of 2021.
