Film Comment. Top 20s.

Wendy and Lucy Kelly Reichardt's Wendy and Lucy rises to the top of one of the most illustrious polls conducted each year. The filmlinc blog is offering a sneak peak at the results of Film Comment's new poll of critics: the top 20 films that saw a release in the US in 2008; the top 20 that didn't (Lucrecia Martel's The Headless Woman is the clear frontrunner here); and the list of participants (quite an honor roll).

Back to that first top 20: Interesting to see how tight the race is among the top five. Following Wendy are Hou Hsiao-hsien's Flight of the Red Balloon, Arnaud Desplechin's A Christmas Tale, Mike Leigh's Happy-Go-Lucky, Andrew Stanton's WALL•E and Jia Zhangke's Still Life.

Bravo on Wendy & Lucy. Not my top movie of the year, but definitely in the top five.

I posted my (partially created in MSPaint) review over here, if you're interested:
