I wrote and wrote this year, and so I saw many fewer movies than I usually do. But rarity breeds discrimination; I believe the few movies I did see were better than the many movies I might have seen. As a result, this is the list of a picky New Yorker. Most of these films weren’t widely released. But I’ll bet you can find them on a streaming service. Here they are, in order of my affection, starting with my favorite….

SHOPLIFTERS

LET THE SUNSHINE IN

THE DEATH OF STALIN

AT ETERNITY’S GATE
