The idea that humanity continues to thrive despite the threat of imminent cataclysmic disaster certainly provides solace, but this seemingly idealistic alternative turns out to have its own distinct failings. In After Yang, the sophomore narrative feature from video essayist-turned-filmmaker Kogonada, the near-future boasts a familiarity that is both comforting and disquieting. Minh, Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja, Haley Lu Richardson, Sarita Choudhury Stars: Colin Farrell, Jodie Turner-Smith, Justin H. Sahar Goldoost, Maryam Shahdaei and Alireza Jahandideh make the film a truly potent ensemble drama, while Farhadi’s daughter, Sarina Farhadi, has a memorable return to the screen a decade since her last role, in Farhadi’s A Separation.- Jacob Oller Doomed nobility is the biggest ask for Jadidi, but his big toothy smile and world-beaten posture allow him to find the perfect amounts of charm (whether genuine or off-putting) or pathos (which we know he’d hate) in Rahim. The consequences from that act, pushed and prodded and wheedled by Farhadi’s script-which adds a deft understanding of social media to a sharply constructed web of relationships and reputations-are an endurance test for the tear ducts.

Rahim (Amir Jadidi), a jailed debtor, returns a bag filled with money that he found on leave. What’s the price for having a conscience? Iranian master Asghar Farhadi’s A Hero spirals out a good deed to all its messy conclusions, providing fertile ground for the filmmaker’s command of aesthetic realism and closeknit interpersonal dynamics. Stars: Amir Jadidi, Mohsen Tanabandeh, Alireza Jahandideh, Sahar Goldoost, Fereshteh Sadr Orafaie, Sarina Farhadi Here are the 25 best movies of 2022 so far:

As for the movies that’ve already come out this year, well, don’t let anyone tell you that they aren’t making great new films, because this list was hard to cut down to just 25. For those, you’ll have to stick around and find out how things shake out at the end of 2022. These are deservedly getting a lot of attention, but either don’t yet have 2022 release date in the U.S. Still, we left off a few films we think are worth tracking down whenever they’re available-films such as A Love Song, Marte Um, Girl Picture, Gentle and pretty much everything at this year’s True/False. Our favorites count these and movies from soon-to-be household names, dealing with subjects like the porn industry and creepypastas in far-flung locales like Iran, Chad, Tasmania and the halls of Downton Abbey.Īs we collect our list of the best movies of the year (so far, anyways), we’ve also done our best to provide links to sites and services where you can watch our recommendations while some are still playing in theaters across the country.

Alongside that unexpected smash, 2022 has seen a few other surprising mainstream heavy-hitters accompany new entries from beloved artists like David Cronenberg and Hong Sang-soo. But what’s even more exciting is the renewed thirst among moviegoers for exciting and original indie fare everyone on every Facebook timeline shared their one-sentence review of Everything Everywhere All at Once all at once. Some of them-held back just for this moment-are actually good.

After a few years of skittishness from studios (and a streaming gamble that saw HBO Max go from confusing gimmick to must-subscribe service), the blockbusters are back in full force. Despite 2022 decidedly not being ready for Morbin’ Time, audiences seem to be ready to return to theaters.
