The best movies of 2023, in descending order…<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘Ferrari’<\/h2>\n

Most of Michael Mann\u2019s films don\u2019t immediately connect and typically require repeated viewings before they\u2019re recognized for being the classics they are (case in point – \u201cHeat,\u201d \u201cManhunter,\u201d \u201cThief,\u201d \u201cMiami Vice\u201d and the still undervalued \u201cPublic Enemies\u201d).<\/p>\n

\u201cFerrari\u201d is no different, as the emotional distance of the title character (a riveting Adam Driver) in his personal life matches how viewers may also feel alienated by him. Yet, as in all of Mann\u2019s films, we\u2019re provided a scene where we\u2019re permitted to see these no-nonsense masters of their craft being vulnerable (remember the bookstore scene in \u201cHeat\u201d?).<\/p>\n

\"YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

Here, it\u2019s a powerful opera sequence (Mr. Coppola, your check is in the mail). There\u2019s also Penelope Cruz, volcanic and heartbreaking in the year\u2019s best performance, period. The seductive pull and enormous dangers of auto racing have never been this vivid, thrilling and scary onscreen.<\/p>\n

As a character study, historic reenactment, tortured love story, fractured father\/son exploration and a visceral ride (delivered with masterful filmmaking), it\u2019s sublime. Mann has made another masterpiece, one for the big screen and a gift for film lovers. (Now in theaters)<\/p>\n

‘Asteroid City’<\/h2>\n

At the center of Wes Anderson\u2019s wondrous, cheeky fable are the scenes between a single father and widower (Jason Schwartzman) and an actress and single mother (Scarlett Johansson) who find a romance while stuck in limbo; these scenes are the masterpiece within an already intricate, perfect meditation on theater, communities and a shared dread of what\u2019s to come. (Peacock)<\/p>\n

Anderson is an auteur whose work is consistently brilliant, immaculately staged and one of a kind. This is no different, though it\u2019s his best since \u201cThe Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.\u201d (On Amazon)<\/p>\n

‘Killers of the Flower Moon’<\/h2>\n

Martin Scorsese gave us an extraordinary historical crime story and moviegoers mostly resisted. Yes, it could have used an intermission. On top of the challenging length, we have a protagonist who is hard to like, villains who are vile but chummy family men, a tale of moral rot with roots that far exceed the setting, key set pieces that are brilliantly staged but painful to watch and a draining feeling of uncertainty at its conclusion.<\/p>\n

In other words, it\u2019s a Scorsese film. (Apple TV+ on Jan. 12, select theaters)<\/p>\n

‘Godzilla Minus One’<\/h2>\n

Seventy years into this franchise, we get richly drawn characters and an emotionally rich, even harrowing story about survivor\u2019s guilt. Writer\/director Takashi Yamazaki makes longtime fans feel like they\u2019re seeing this for the first time.<\/p>\n

\"YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

The production values, particularly the visual effects, are superior to those in most Hollywood films this year. Here\u2019s a true word-of-mouth sleeper hit that deserved its gotta-see-it status. Oh, and did I mention Godzilla\u2019s in this? (Now in theaters)<\/p>\n

‘Past Lives’<\/h2>\n

Writer\/director Celine Song\u2019s film debut hit me pretty hard. Whereas the majority of mainstream love stories establish a pre-determined And-They-Lived-Happily-Ever-After fantasy, \u201cPast Lives\u201d considers thoughtfully the what-could-have-been in a way that\u2019s surprising.<\/p>\n

If nostalgia is the comfort food of choice in these unsteady times, Song counters with the reminder that love is the reality, destiny is a fantasy and our past plays differently in hindsight. (VOD platforms)<\/p>\n

‘Napoleon’<\/h2>\n

Ridley Scott\u2019s enthralling epic has the scene of the year (The Battle of Austerlitz is a jaw dropper). It also has an outside-looking-in perspective on an emotionally unavailable but wily historical figure (Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby give wildfire performances), immaculate filmmaking, a chilly tone and a challenging running time.<\/p>\n

What we have overall is the closest approximation of what Stanley Kubrick\u2019s unmade, Jack Nicholson-led version could have been. (AppleTV+)<\/p>\n

‘A Haunting in Venice’<\/h2>\n

What if Kenneth Branagh made a perfect trilogy and no one noticed? That\u2019s the case here, as each Agatha Christie thriller was better than the last, building towards this creepy, thought-provoking installment on the existence of the supernatural.<\/p>\n

Branagh makes this thrilling and playful. Adieu, Inspector Perot. (Hulu)<\/p>\n

‘Monster’<\/h2>\n

Hirokazu Kore-eda\u2019s drama deservedly won the Best Screenplay award at Cannes. His latest snuck up on me. The story of a boy who misbehaves in school grows deeper every time the perspective changes. This is one of the best, most illuminating films I\u2019ve encountered about teachers.<\/p>\n

\"YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a first: Parent\/Teacher conferences that play like edge-of-your-seat court cases. (Select theaters)<\/p>\n

‘Perfect Days’<\/h2>\n

Looking for a feel-good movie that actually earns the warmth it generates? Wim Wenders\u2019 Tokyo-based, slice-of-life drama is low key and delightful. Who would have thought the story of a professional toilet cleaner (played by an effervescent Koji Yakusho, who won Best Actor at Cannes last year) could be so enlightening?<\/p>\n

Wenders, as always, transports us with his cinema. (Select theaters)<\/p>\n

‘Beau is Afraid’<\/h2>\n

Ari Aster\u2019s astonishingly loose, adventurous 179-minute nightmare showcases an always-up-for-anything Joaquin Phoenix and features one spellbinding, dread-inducing set piece after another. Both richly cinematic and brazenly theatrical, Aster\u2019s horror\/comedy is divisive by design but, if you can take it, rewarding. It sticks with you. (Showtime, Paramount+)<\/p>\n

(Must-See Runner Ups: “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” “The Zone of Interest,” “Skinamarink” and “Are You There, God? It\u2019s Me, Margaret)”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
