The 20 Best Movies of 2018 So Far
Which films have impressed critics the most during the first half of the year? Above, we rank the best-reviewed movies released in theaters between January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2018 by Metascore. Films must have more than 7 reviews from professional critics to be eligible.
Writer-director Lucrecia Martel’s latest film comes nine years after her much-praised The Headless Woman. It's an adaptation of Antonio Di Benedetto’s 1956 novel about Don Diego de Zama, a clerk for the Spanish empire in the late 18th century whose main desire is to be transferred from his colonial outpost in what is now Paraguay.
“Give yourself some time to adjust and Martel's style, at once immersive and disorienting, starts to feel like a corrective, a clearer way of seeing and hearing. The physical world here is not some abstract commodity; it is fiercely, palpably present, and utterly indifferent to the whims of men arrogant enough to think they can tame it into submission.” —Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
