Some great choices, and you have my full respect for putting Aftersun at the top. It's an extraordinary piece of work.

Question: If you are based in the UK, how did you manage to see The Fabelmans and Tar? Was it at press screenings, or did you visit America? They aren't out in the UK until January, yet some of the films you mention at the end (The Menu, Avatar: The Way of Water, and White Noise) were released here in 2022.

I base all my top ten choices of 2022 on UK release dates. Here's my list, if you're interested. :)
