#BEST GAY MOVIES 2018 SO FAR MOVIE#
Not that Bad Trip is all that cringeworthy - there’s a sweetness to it that’s anchored by the friendship between Eric André’s lovelorn human cartoon and the long-suffering straight man played by Lil Rel Howery, a movie relationship planted in a real-world setting.
Consider the following lists snapshots of moviegoing in the year in-person cinema truly returned, almost too late and with a vengeance:Įric André and Kitao Sakurai’s howlingly good hidden-camera movie temporarily cured me of the secondhand embarrassment that prevents me from enjoying cringe comedies. Red Rocket, Titane, The Last Duel, and Spencer - great films that have garnered recognition from one awards-bestowing body or another - could easily have made someone’s final cut. List-making is always capricious, but the decision to include a particular movie on this year’s Top 10s felt subsequently more personally haphazard.
This is true any year, but it was especially true at the end of 2021, which Vulture’s Alison Willmore describes simply as “ overwhelming.” Not just because the sheer amount of movies released seemed dramatic after months hibernating at home but also because so many of those movies arrived late - held back by pandemic forces, of course - and stuffed into the fall season.
