The best 50 films of 2023 | Sight and Sound magazine

A countdown of the best 50 films of 2023, as voted for by more than 100 Sight and Sound contributors.
For 2023 has been one of the best years in recent memory for the art of cinema. As ever, we hope our list, voted for by more than 100 contributors, works as an invitation to dig beyond those films blessed with multimillion-pound marketing muscle and giant awards-season promo budgets, to find new films and directors rather than simply those that shout the loudest.

This list is completely out of order. I don't even want to know what criteria were used to make it.

Worst music ever & you can't mute it if you want to hear the audio bursts ... Moreover their penchant for using imbecilic "Tie" numerations only serves to completely ruin the entire feeling and enjoyment of having a "list" in the first place
