It was as tough to narrow down this list of 2022’s best films as it’s been in any year — maybe even more so. ⭐

For any movie lover, that's the best kind of problem to have. 🎥

These are the Top 25 Films of 2022: cos.lv/2SZw50LXu5I Image
10. Weird: The Al Yankovic Story

For his big swing at Hollywood Oscar bait, Yankovic took care to bring together folks who could match up with his towering comedic talent. It's a true tribute to weirdness everywhere.

09. Meet Me In the Bathroom

Meet Me in the Bathroom is a loving reminder of what came before, and the possibilities of what can come next if we allow artists to chart the path.

Oh, and the music still rips.

08. Top Gun: Maverick

It’s a legacyquel that doesn’t just reckon with the legacy of its predecessor, but @TomCruise’s own invulnerability as an action star in a landscape hostile to his breed.

07. The Batman

For a character we’ve seen portrayed in seemingly every conceivable way, especially when it comes to “grounded and gritty,” the fact that @TheBatman has its own, unique identity is legitimately awe-inspiring.

06. Prey

Prey could have been another forgettable Predator movie, but instead it will be remembered as one of the cleverest films of the year.

05. Women Talking

Women Talking is a movie that feels at times quiet in its construction, except for the way it screams for its characters, who are too used to being silenced.

04. Nope

While the hybrid thriller blends classic westerns with a style akin to early Spielberg works, this extra-terrestrial feature serves as a vessel for spectacle and trauma.

03. Tár

It’s a character study of a self-aggrandizing, overly-congratulated fraud, the kind of “genius” who performs a kind of hollow virtue for herself as much as her audience.

02. Everything Everywhere All At Once

It’s a story of feeling a little lost, for whatever reason, and ultimately rediscovering yourself through reconnecting with the people you love.

01. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

The world has felt so very complicated recently. But as this movie reminds us, sometimes the simplest answer proves to be the right one.

50. PJ Harvey — I Inside the Old Year Dying

On her 10th studio album, I Inside the Old Year Dying, PJ Harvey strives for newness without veering off too far from the familiar. Revisiting her 2022 epic poem Orlam made room for a personal and transformative record, a testament to her genius. All 12 tracks are written in the same rural Dorset vernacular and follow the protagonist’s coming-of-age story, alluding to Harvey’s desire for reinvention. While her captivating poetry remains at the forefront, the backdrop of eerie field recordings and minimalist instrumentation allow for a more tranquil effort; tracks such as “Prayer at the Gate” and “Lownesome Tonight” have gentle tones, while “All Souls” and “A Noiseless Noise” are rather chilling. Yet it still stands strong amongst her previous concept-centric entries, making PJ Harvey’s first proper release in seven years well worth the wait.

49. Deeper — Careful!

Deeper’s third album and their first for Sub Pop is knotty, frenzied, and utterly crisp. The Chicago post-punk quartet write itch-scratching guitar riffs with an almost scientific precision, but their evolving structures and impressive full-band dynamics act as an element of surprise. Vocalist Nic Gohl conjures singular, evocative images, alternating between tension and release sometimes within the same couplet. As an album titled Careful! suggests, there’s a wariness that characterizes many of these songs — still, they find ways to burst with clarity, control, and catharsis. The climax of lead single “Build a Bridge” seems to say it best: “It’s the right kind of rhythm.”
