Adam’s Top Twenty Films of 2019

Adam Top Twenty 2019

Deerskin (Quentin Dupiex) 

This is all about what a flex can do for someone.  If you’ve never had a flex change your life… well, this may not be the film for you.  As a flex changed my life in 2019.  This one spoke to me hard.  Seeing it at the perfect time in my life helped.  Not that I want to be a serial killing accidental filmmaker.  FULL REVIEW HERE.

The Farewell (Lulu Wang) 

I stand by what I said when I first saw this lovely beautiful ode to family and the power grandparents have over us.  FULL REVIEW HERE

Hustlers (Lorene Scafaria) 

Lorene Scafaria is a badass boss lady.  She has been since her first film.  She will continue to be after Hustlers.  Hustlers shows why so many film critics love her work.  This is a film that can play at the game that similar male-centric films aim at.  The only thing is… Hustlers does it better.  So, much fucking better than any of the wannabe Scorsese disciples films.  Why?  Scafaria is a better filmmaker than all of them.  Yes. I said it.  All. Of. Them.  

The Irishman (Martin Scorsese) 

This isn’t a gangster film.  This is about meeting the loneliness of aging and death.  Martin Scorsese has made a film that’s more Bergman than Scorsese.  Those that call this one slow or boring or any of the nomenclature that we’ve used for ADHD attention spans are not ready for what Scorsese is dishing up.  B-MOVIE PODCAST EPISODE 1 AND EPISODE 2 ABOUT THE IRISHMAN.
