The annual mid-year critics poll will be published tomorrow, but to complete it I need to submit my own list of five films (unranked). The submission rules stated that the chosen films had to be released theatrically in the U.S. between January 1st and June 30th.
I found 14 titles which could be considered:
“Dogman,” “Dragged Across Concrete,” “Us,” “Gloria Bell,” “Diamantino,” “Triple Frontier,” “High Life,” “Ash is Purest White,” “Avengers: Endgame,” “Ask Dr. Ruth,” “Hail Satan,” “Climax,” “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote,” “Holiday,” “Booksmart,” “Long Shot,” "Under the Silver Lake”
Callum Turner has stepped down as a director of Twentytwo Films, the production company he launched last August, and the British tabloids are already reading it as a sign he's clearing the decks for James Bond.
