I wish the eighth years and can you still forgive me? succeeded – I named both. Bohemian Rhapsody m disappointed me in many ways. It was too long it was too safe; it was felt that this had been done by a committee, because it was the case; and he refused to engage with the darker sides of Freddie Mercury, his relationships with other members of the band and the music business in general. Green Book is a beautiful film, but very old fashioned. he deserves to be named, but not to win. The focus was on the bad character; I really wanted to know more about Dr. Shirley, who was such an interesting person. Vice had excellent performances, but Dick Cheney is not a particularly interesting or fascinating personality, and the film was a real disaster. Does it mean a satire, a biopic or something else? I still have no idea. I really enjoyed it A star was born – it's entertaining, romantic and bady – but I think it was a little too finished. I did not know that it was really so different from the latest version of the film and I hoped that she would feel more contemporary than she had been; that of & # 54; was actually best of all, and this one did not win the best picture, so this one should not be either. Roma was beautiful and she [Yalitza Aparicio] is a real find. I do not care about it being a Netflix movie – but I think this movie was designed to be a kind of universal experience and it was not the case. that for me; it's just a beautiful tribute to the childhood of a person. I'm not a big type of comic or a kind of superhero, but Black Panther raised the genre to a whole new level. The Favorite is a great film at every level. It tells a story that I did not know with great production value at all levels and an excellent interpretation. it was madly entertaining and made me laugh, but it really had nothing to say. But BlacKkKlansman did it and I kept thinking about it for months. It was so unexpected. It was refreshing to be told a true story that I did not know. The writing and the realization were so unexpected. And I never imagined that Spike [Lee] could extract the comic elements as well as the dramatic aspects, but he did. And I congratulate him for putting the word in the end about Charlottesville: it was the best thing to do. It's just the movie of the year and, to borrow the old cliche, the film we need now. And you want to know something? Contrary to what everyone is currently predicting, I think it will outweigh it.

My vote: (1) BlacKkKlansman (2) The favorite (3) Black Panther (4) Roma (5) ) A star is born (6) Vice (7) Green Book (8) Bohemian Rhapsody
