Sarah Jane's Top 10 Films of 2022

1) Bones and All Gorgeous, grotesque, glorious. I didn't have Chalamet dancing to Kiss on my bingo card.

2) Nope I can't stop thinking about this picture all these months later. Peele & co., tremendous work.

3) Moonage Daydream Dazzling and dizzying, just stunning. Plus, my kiddo is now obsessed with Bowie.

4) Everything Everywhere All at Once Ke Huy Quan should be a superstar by now. Michelle Yeoh is a goddess.

5) The Fabelmans I'm a sucker for films about filmmaking. I smell an Oscar for Williams.

6) TÁR If anyone can beat Williams, it's Blanchett. What a powerhouse performance.

7) Pearl A Lynchian Technicolor nightmare, what's not to love? Goth's monologue alone deserves something. Jesus.

8) Flux Gourmet Peter Strickland is one weird fucker, and I am here for it.

9) Is That Black Enough for You?!? Elvis Mitchell's doc is a must-see. Get your pencils ready to make a list.

10) Jackass Forever Holy shit did we need this movie this year! So pure. I heart Danger Ehren.
