BEST OF TIMES, WORST OF TIMES: THE MOVIES OF 2016
2016: the reviews are in! And they have been for quite some time, actually. If you keep up even a distracted presence on social media you’ll be well aware that the year past is largely considered at the very least a bad patch, and in thinking of it as something more than an isolated phenomenon of 365 random days I’d probably have to agree—it was a pretty disagreeable and sometimes dispiriting 365 days, geopolitically speaking and for speculating on days to come. To paraphrase the words of the Timbuk 3’s Pat MacDonald, the future’s so bright we’d better wear shades.
Some are even speculating dim prospects for the cinema too. To hear Martin Scorsese and Ridley Scott tell it, the medium, in which they are both still vitally active, is more or less dead. “Cinema is gone,” Scorsese recently said in a widely circulated interview, but Scorsese was mourning more the death of the theatrical experience than the quality of the movies themselves:

10. “The Birth of a Nation” –Nate Parker’s “The Birth of a Nation,” a truly great and unrelentingly honest film, ushers in a needed heroic retelling of Nat Turner’s story. As the American education system continues to criminalize Turner’s image, never has a film like Parker’s historical art-house interpretation been so vital since students are devoid of Turner’s bona fide heroism. Many viewers blindingly prefer movies where directors purport slaves as everything but righteously reactionary. Thankfully, Parker’s enthralling yet implacable debut upends the whitewashed trend as it tells the true empowering story of a slave rebellion.
9. “Arrival”- For the second straight year, French director Denis Villeneuve seizes the breath of audiences. With 2015’s “Sicario” an obvious steep act to follow, Villeneuve envelops viewers in a cerebral sci-fi like none other. From the very first trailer, “Arrival” resembled the annual, interstellar film touching base upon extraterrestrial existentialism. This film contributes all of the above yet so much more. “Arrival” gracefully explores dense themes of unification, the vitality of language and the shared emotional struggles that connects us as humans, transcending both space and time. With an ending that audaciously c
