Haven’t seen KoaFM or Maestro. Last year, I thought Everything Everywhere All at Once was fantastic, All Quiet on the Western Front and Banshees of Inisherin was very good and the rest were some form of meh to pretty good.
This year, i don’t think there’s anything I like as much as EEAAO, but I’d put 6 of the 7 I’ve seen between the 1st and 2nd place ones from last year.
I think my rankings are something around:
The Holdovers American Fiction Poor Things Oppenheimer … Zone of Interest Anatomy of a Fall … … … Barbie
