The interns, who were asked to assemble Barack Obama’s annual list of 2023’s best films, came up with a peculiar crop of films this year. It doesn’t look as algorithm-generated as in previous years. Maybe that was the goal.
I chuckle when I see some folks who actually believe that this is Obama’s personal list. The man is a politician. Every single thing he says or does must be curated. Why would this list be an exception?
His Top 10 includes “The Holdovers”, “American Fiction”, “Blackberry”, “Oppenheimer”, “Anatomy of a Fall”, “Monster”, “Past Lives”, “Air”, “Polite Society”, and “A Thousand and One”.
