Top films
I cannot tell a lie: 2022 was kind of a bummer, movie-wise. As the year ended, I was hard-pressed to come up with 10 titles I genuinely loved.
What a difference this year made. Whether it was hordes of 8-year-olds storming the cinemas to sing along with Taylor Swift, or a little movie about a former US government agent rescuing children from sex traffickers, people had reasons to go to the movies again.
What they found, as often as not, were women trying to break free of societal constraints, a theme that seems to have reached full expression after #MeToo and Time’s Up.
Adventurous audiences found plenty to value
