Sight & Sound Names ‘The Souvenir' the Best Film of 2019

November 29, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

I abide by Sight & Sound's newly unveiled list of the best films of 2019.

More than 100 voters, selected by the prestigious film magazine, have produced a list of the 50 best movies of 2019 British-born Joanna Hogg’s “The Souvenir” took top honors, followed closely by Bong Joon-ho’s “Parasite” and Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman.”

Hogg’s film, a tale of a female director both looking back and moving forward, garnered rave reviews when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this past January. The film has an impressive 92 on Metacritic and is at 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. However, despite the unanimous critical accolades, the film was barely seen by anyone as it only made $1 million dollars at the U.S. box-office.

Here are the top 20 best movies from the Sight and Sound poll (which is actually a top 50 and can be found in its entirety inside the magazine’s January 2020 issue).

1. The Souvenir
2. Parasite
3. The Irishman
4. Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood
5. Portrait of a Lady on Fire
6. Pain and Glory
7. Atlantics
8. Bait
9. Us
10. Vitalina Varela

11. High Life
12. Uncut Gems
13. Monos
14. Marriage Story
15. For Sama
16. Midsommar
17. The Lighthouse
18. Happy As Lazzaro
19. Hustlers
20. Martin Eden
