My other favorite films of 2022, Park Chan-wook’s beautiful romantic mystery Decision to Leave, Kogonada’s stunningly made After Yang w amazing performance by Colin Farrell, Terrence Davies’ underrated and unseen Benediction about Siegfried Sassoon, played by Jack Lowden as a profound British poet and WWI veteran who was hospitalized because of his anti war stance, and tragically had to hide his gay love life. The remarkably witty and funny Nicholas Stoller’s Bros, one of the most funny, smart, and well made gay romances produced by the great Judd Apatow, with wonderful Billy Eichner, Luke MacFarlane. Laura Poitras’ brilliant All the Beauty and the Bloodshed examines the life and career of photographer and activist, Nan Goldin and her efforts to hold Purdue Pharma accountable for the opioid epidemic. Panah Panahi’s touching, and hilarious Hit the Road, a comedy-drama about an Iranian family driving to the Turkish border to immigrate their young adult son out of the country. Max Walker-Silverman’s A Love Song about two older childhood friends who share a night in the Colorado mountains features beautiful performances by Dale Dickey and Wes Studi, a film about real people who have lived their lives without glamour, or luck and how they have continued in spite of life. Finally, S. S. Rajamouli’s entertaining and funny epic RRR. #bestfilmsof2022 #parkchanwook #decisiontoleave #kogonada #afteryang #colinfarrell #terrencedavies #benediction #sigfriedsassoon #jacklowden #bros #nicholasstoller #juddapatow #billyeichner #lukemacfarlane #laurapoitras #allthebeautyandthebloodshed #nangoldin #purduepharma #panahpanahi #hittheroad #maxwalkersilverman #alovesong #daledickey #wesstudi #rrr #rrrmovie #ssramarajamouli https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpsb9McuXZp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
