OK, fine, I’ll budge. Many readers of this site love lists, understandably so, and there have been a few emails I’ve gotten about what the best movies of 2019 have been so far. I won’t list the stuff I saw at Sundance, I’ll just list the movies that have already been released, the cutoff date is April 30th just to give me a little room to manoeuvre.
Dogman (Matteo Garone)
Dragged Across Concrete (Craig Zahler)
Gloria Bell (Sebastien Lelio)
High Life (Claire Denis)
Us (Jordan Peele)
The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (Terry Gilliam)
