Adam’s Top Twenty Films of 2019

Adam Top Twenty 2019

2. Little Women (Greta Gerwig) 

Greta Gerwig’s adaptation is a notice to critics and viewers alike.  This is “THE” adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s novel.  Gerwig brings a sense of urgency, humanity and most of all humor to a novel (and films) that have taken many a young person’s hearts. Armed with a brilliant cast headlined by Saorise Ronan, Laura Dern, Emma Watson, Meryl Streep, Tracy Letts, Bob Odenkirk but it’s the chemistry between Florence Pugh and Timothée Chalamet that wins through.  This is a family blockbuster designed to please anyone and everyone.  Gerwig with her sophomore effect has made a Classic that will be relished for years to come.  FULL REVIEW HERE.

1. Parasite (Bong Joon-ho)

I almost feel like a broken record contributing to the mass effect of critics saying the same thing; Parasite is the best film of the year.  The problem is this; IT FUCKING IS.  Bong Joon-ho’s film of families and how capitalism is all of our masters no matter your language, class, sex, or creed is perfect in its execution.  It is one of the few films that evolves in front of your eyes into something wholly original and unpredictable.  It would be enough for the film to be just that but Bong Joon-ho has ensured that this is also one of the most entertaining, emotional, thrilling, and funny films of the year. FULL REVIEW HERE.
