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, 2019 and June 30, 2019 by Metascore. Films must have at least 7 reviews from professional critics to be eligible.
The second film from Chinese director Bi Gan (Kaili Blues) first debuted at Cannes in 2018, where critics were mesmerized by a noir-like mystery that emphasizes atmosphere and technical mastery over story. Of particular note is a nearly one-hour, dream-like, single-take 3D sequence that closes the film and marks Journey as an unforgettable experience.
“While Long Day’s plot seems an afterthought, the experience is all that matters: the audience gathers all the clues, rummage through them to soak up the atmosphere and enter a world unlike any seen before. Make no mistake about it, Long Day’s Journey Into Night is a flat-out masterpiece.” —Jordan Ruimy, The Playlist
