The Films of 2023 Ranked and Reviewed

Whelp, that took a little longer to release than I expected, but at least I got it out before the Oscars.
I’ve watched a few more 2023 films in between drafting this script and completing this video. If you’re interested in seeing how these other films rank, here’s the list: letterboxd.com/editionsofyouu...
I also did a mini-review of 2023’s Society of the Snow in case you missed it: • SOCIETY OF THE SNOW | ...
I recorded this video across several days, so that’s why the audio quality varies. Oops.
My next video - a feminist analysis of Tarantino’s Death Proof - will hopefully be released before the end of March, but your guess is as good as mine. A few other ideas are bouncing around in my head, including an analysis of Merchant Ivory’s Maurice, so stay tuned if either of those interests you.
Thanks to everyone who has supported my channel thus far!

*whispers* i didnt understand The Boy and the Heron either. There are definitely other strange Ghibli films but normally Miyazaki’s themes are explored comprehensively if not concisely but Heron was a bonkers swirl of grief, existentialism and bird poop. Maybe i need to rewatch it

“A bonkers swirl of grief, existentialism and bird poop” is an excellent description - hopefully it’s more cohesive on a second watch!
