The Oscars are often seen as a popularity contest, but this year all ten Best Picture nominees are worth seeing, with four being among the writer’s favorite films of the year. One standout is “A COMPLETE UNKNOWN,” where Timothee Chalamet delivers a convincing performance as Bob Dylan in a film depicting four years of the singer/songwriter’s life in the 1960s. “ANORA” is another favorite, following a sex worker who marries the son of a Russian billionaire with dramatic consequences.
“EMILIA PEREZ” is a unique and captivating film that blends opera, crime thriller, and more, and “I’M STILL HERE” tells the powerful true story of a woman who becomes a human rights lawyer after her husband is taken by a military dictatorship. Both films highlight important social issues and the need to fight against authoritarian rule.
The writer encourages moviegoers to check out these diverse and compelling films, available on various platforms such as Spectrum On Demand, Netflix, and theaters like KAHALA MALL and REGAL DOLE. While some films may be outside the mainstream, they still have the potential to resonate with audiences and make a lasting impact. These Oscar-nominated films offer a mix of entertainment, thought-provoking themes, and powerful performances that showcase the diversity and quality of cinema today.
