My top 10 films of 2018

I was encouraged to start a film review blog, so here it is ready to go for 2019 (with thanks/apologies to AG for the title).

To start off, here are my top 10 films for 2018; this only includes films that I saw for the first time at the cinema this year.


Numbers 10 through to 2, in no particular order:


Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

The Shape Of Water

Phantom Thread

You Were Never Really Here

120 BPM

The Breadwinner

Leaning Into The Wind: Andy Goldsworthy

Chris The Swiss

The Silver Branch

(Official trailer link at https://vimeo.com/260201919)



And my favourite film of the year, by some margin, was Utoya - July 22

Genuinely terrifying, incredibly powerful, the most emotionally intense film I've seen for a very long time.
