The National Board of Review of Motion Pictures, an American group that provides awards to movies, filmmakers, actors and actresses in each Cannes, has unveiled its listing of the most effective movies of 2021.
Director Paul Thomas Anderson’s upcoming movie Licorice Pizza has been voted the most effective movie of the 12 months. Also on the highest 10 listing are Kenneth Branagh’s autobiographical movie Belfast, Denis Villeneuve’s Dune (an epic adaptation of Frank Herbert’s science-fiction novel), Ridley Scott’s historic drama The Last Duel, Joel Coen’s Shakespeare adaptation The Tragedy of Macbeth, amongst others.
Here is the whole listing:
(Note that the listing isn’t ordered, aside from Licorice Pizza, which was voted Best Film of the Year.)
1. Licorice Pizza
2. Belfast
3. Don’t Look Up
4. Doon
5. King Richard
6. Final Duel
7. Nightmare Alley
8. Red Rocket
9. The Tragedy of Macbeth
10. West Side Story
Licorice Pizza stars Alana Haim, Cooper Hoffman, Sean Penn, Tom Waits, Bradley Cooper and Benny Safdie. It’s about Alana Kane and Gary Valentine, who develop up and fall in love in Seventies California.
Licorice Pizza is Anderson’s first movie since 2017’s Phantom Thread, which marked the ultimate display look earlier than the retirement of legendary actor Daniel Day-Lewis.
The movie acquired a 92 p.c ranking on overview aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes. The important consensus reads, “Liquorice Pizza is shifting Paul Thomas Anderson into surprisingly comfortable gear—and cutting potentially star-making performances off its fresh-faced lead.”
