the WorldĢ020-2021 Network TV Shows: What's Renewed, What's Canceled, What's in Limbo 'Mothering Sunday' Trailer: Odessa Young and Josh O'Connor Find Romance Painful in Interwar BritainĮmmy Predictions: Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series - 'Ted Lasso' vs. Kirsten Dunst Floats Return to 'Spider-Man' Movies: 'I'd Be Old MJ at This Point with Little Spidey Babies' It also means that we can’t include movies we’ve already seen and adored that have yet to be released, even if they’re right around the corner, including a number of our favorites from Cannes, Telluride, Venice, TIFF, and NYFF. That means we’ve got the usual festival leftovers from last year that finally made their way to audiences, new titles from earlier festivals that have already been released, all alongside a handful of titles that materialized in recent months. Our list of the best movies of the year so far follows the same basic rules: In order to qualify, a film must have been released in North American theaters for at least a week or on a VOD platform in the same territory. This year’s release calendar has been so loaded with feature-length wonders, many of which push the boundaries of art form, that even as we head straight into the belly of the “awards season” beast, our usual edict remains intact: Anyone who thinks this has been a bad year for movies simply hasn’t seen enough of them. And while the “movies versus TV” debate rages on, the cinema one hasn’t.
As with last year’s shocking changes to the media landscape, no amount of shutdowns and shifting distribution paradigms could stop movies from getting out there, whether they came to small VOD entities or the biggest streaming platforms. Movie theaters are reopening and audiences are creeping back, but that’s only part of the story.
