The 20 Best Movies of 2020 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* or on digital/VOD/streaming outlets between January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020. Films are ranked by Metascore and must have at least 7 reviews from professional critics to be eligible.
* Commonly found in urban locations during the Before Times, a theater was an enclosed public space where strangers came together to watch films projected on a screen.
The Audience Award winner at last year's SXSW, Saint Frances centers on a young woman (Kelly O'Sullivan, also the film's screenwriter) who has an abortion and then immediately lands a job as a nanny to a six-year-old in a wealthy Chicago suburb. Alex Thompson's debut feature collected excellent reviews when it finally reached theaters in February.
“It's truly refreshing to watch a film where nobody has anything figured out, where life proceeds messily and imperfectly. Saint Frances is unpredictable in a very human way.” —Shelia O'Malley, RogerEbert.com
