Apart from charting new philosophical concerns for the storied American director, even as it looks to historical events, A Hidden Life also features the most radical use of a closing epigraph—here taken from George Eliot’s Middlemarch—that I can recall. Weyes Blood, Titanic Rising. Not nothing, but not a lot either. That goes double for M.

From the distinction “the first and final film from Hu Bo” on down, a bone-deep sadness permeates every aspect of this unsparing look at quotidian life in desolate, post-industrial China. And I’ve seen Gotti. Given the prolificity of South Korean writer-director Hong Sang-soo, it’s easy to take his output for granted.

In our look back at the best television of 2019, we’ll spare you the requisite references to “peak TV” and the 500-plus scripted series that aired or streamed this year, because nothing demonstrates that magnitude quite like lining up our mid-year findings with our year-end list. The Irishman6. The result is our list of the best films of 2019, a document of the year in movies that reflects the broader arc of hopes, dreams, and fears being reflected on the big screen at this moment in history, but also the idiosyncratic tastes of the movie lovers who contributed to it.

Their provocation was in service of a film that takes zero risks whatsoever; that is gleeful in its celebration of a song by a convicted sex offender; that equates mental illness with murder; and that cannot, from scene to scene, say anything poignant or meaningful about the state of modern American society, social isolation, or economic disenfranchisement. A Hidden Life15. Yet the greatest act of defiance comes from writer-director Céline Sciamma, who subtly shifts the lens on how historical stories are told, starting with the fact that every single character in her film is a woman.

And his film becomes, in its magnificently bleak final stretch, a meditation on the true consequences of the mob life, the ignoble end awaiting men like Henry Hill, Sam Rothstein, and the film’s own protagonist, mafia hitman Frank Sheeran (Robert De Niro, weaponizing the sleepiness of his latter-day work into a devastating portrait of moral absence). In My Room9. López infuses magical realism into her take on the devastating costs of the Mexican Drug War, using the omnipresent image of the tiger—a Mexican folk icon imagined here as animated graffiti and a living stuffed animal—to demonstrate the youth of the children most affected by the ceaseless violence. It would be tempting to say that the biggest mystery of this film is why such a miss hasn’t seemed to hurt Hawley’s career, but that would be ignoring an even bigger one: How the hell do you tell this story and cut out the diapers? Scorsese, at a very spry 77, was everywhere in 2019: igniting a debate about what is or isn’t cinema; inspiring autumn hits so indebted to his style that he should have received royalties; executive-producing two of the other movies on this very list and piecing together a lost Bob Dylan concert.
