Christopher Llewellyn Reed’s Top 10 2016 Feature Films
Written by: Christopher Llewellyn Reed | January 10th, 2017
Below you will find a list of my Top 10 narrative features of 2016. Where I have previously written reviews of a movie, the title of that movie is hyperlinked to my original review. Where I have not (yet) reviewed a film, I have hyperlinked the title to the movie’s Rotten Tomatoes page and written a (very) short description of it, just to explain what I admire about it.
- Captain Fantastic
- Certain Women
- Hell or High Water
- La La Land
- Loving
- Manchester by the Sea
- Moonlight
- Rams
- Toni Erdmann – Perhaps excessively long (perhaps), this delightful German film is nevertheless a profound (and very entertaining) meditation on familial bonds that features one of the best uses of nudity to ever grace the silver screen.
- 20th Century Women – Mike Mills (Beginners) delivers a loving fictional portrait of his mother that is also a tribute to the strength of women, of all ages, everywhere.
