Paul Thomas Anderson’s film follows a former revolutionary who comes out of hiding to save his daughter from a corrupt colonel. Digital Trends’ review excerpt praises its blend of action, comedy, romance, tragedy and family drama, along with its layered performances. The article says it was inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s novel Vineland.
2. The Life of Chuck — 5/5
Mike Flanagan’s adaptation of a Stephen King novella tells Charles Krantz’s life in reverse chronological order. The review excerpt highlights the film’s themes, heartfelt story and ensemble performances.
Rank #2
- Runtime: 126 minutes
3. Sinners — 5/5
Ryan Coogler’s film follows twin brothers who return to 1930s Mississippi to open a juke joint. They and their community face vampires; Digital Trends’ excerpt calls it an inventive horror film and praises Coogler’s ambition.
4. The Long Walk — 4.5/5
Based on Stephen King’s novel, the film depicts young men forced to keep walking in a dystopian contest or be killed. Digital Trends describes the adaptation as dark, insightful and emotionally forceful.
