The Best Movies of 2022
Here are the best movies of 2022 that you properly did not watch. Kindly explore them carefully and give us your comments in the section below.
1. Everything Everywhere All at Once
Even in the vastness of the multiverse, the chances of a movie as boundlessly creative, heart-stoppingly emotional, and adrenaline-poundingly exciting as Everything Everywhere All At Once coming into existence are slim to none.
To say that Daniels’ follow-up to the barmy Swiss Army Man is a revelation is an understatement – its combination of crude comedy, surreal sci-fi, inventive action, and epic emotional stakes make it one of the best magical, original movies in recent years.
Michelle Yeoh is at the top of her game as Evelyn, a laundromat owner with too many thoughts and not enough time – with too many dreams and quite little commitment to making them happen.
As it turns out, that makes her the best candidate to take on Jobu Tupaki, a dark force who has learned to harness the power of the multiverse and wants to see it swallowed whole by an ‘everything bagel’ black hole.
There are dildo fights, secret raccoon chefs, hot-dog hands, and hyper-hench pinky fingers. Jamie Lee Curtis does kung-fu in a tax office. Ke Huy Quan delivers heartbreaking monologues and beats individuals up with a bumbag.
A near-silent scene of two rocks with googly eyes becomes a pure cinematic favorite. But all of the absurdity in EEAAO makes the grounded, ever-relatable theme of tension between parents and children all the more powerful, with further nuance in its intersections of immigrant identity, cultural heritage, and LGBTQ+ relationships.
This movie is about love and pain, strength and weakness, light and darkness, all wrapped up in a perfect, undefinable package. It is everything, everywhere, all at once.
2. Top Gun: Maverick
We – that is to say, Empire (and, well, a whole generation of cinemagoers) – were trepidatious.
Over 30 years after Top Gun defined a decade and made Tom Cruise an icon, he and producer Jerry Bruckheimer were bringing Maverick back to the Danger Zone.
No good had come from it! This is 2022, for Pete Mitchell’s sake! But it’s clear Tom Cruise and Jerry Bruckheimer also didn’t want to trample on his legacy.
Along with director Joseph Kosinski and a crack team of screenwriters – including Cruise’s wingman Christopher McQuarrie – they made a sequel that improves on the original in every way.
Top Gun: Maverick has a humongous beating heart, some of the best thrilling action sequences ever devised, and cracking chemistry all-round – from Maverick’s tête-à-têtes with his gruff superiors to Rooster (Miles Teller) and Hangman’s (Glen Powell) fractious squabbling… and then there’s that Val Kilmer scene. We laughed. We cried. We clenched. Action cinema doesn’t get better than this.
3. The Banshees of Inisherin
Marking the return of Martin McDonagh – who excels at serving up thrilling humor wrapped in misanthropy – The Banshees of Inisherin is his best work yet, contained after the rather epic Three Billboards.
In the early 1920s, in a (fictional) Irish Ireland, Colin Farrell (incredible) is Pádraic, a well-meaning, good-hearted fellow… or at least he starts that way, before his best friend Colm (Brendan Gleeson – also incredible), bored of idle chit-chat, decides he doesn’t wish to be his mate anymore.
From there, McDonagh examines a disintegrating relationship, flame-throwing into the mix of politics, art, donkeys, and dismemberment.
With a very nice supporting cast providing various degrees of heartbreak – including Kerry Condon as Pádraic’s sister Siobhán, and the ever-reliable Barry Keoghan as a horrendously troubled young man – McDonagh gives us a note-perfect piece of upsetting melancholia that socks you in the gut.
4. Avatar: The Way of Water
Do not bet against James Cameron. When news broke that the record-breaking director had not one, not two, not three, but four sequels to 2009’s box-office-smashing, boundary-pushing Avatar on the way, the world wasn’t sure what to expect.
The answer – with Cameron, always – is a film-going experience unlike any other. Moving Jake Sully, Neytiri, and their new brood to the oceanic base of the Metkayina clan in The Way Of Water gave Cameron a big new blue playground to swim in.
The result? An otherworldly, transformative exploration of family, our bonds with animals, fatherhood, colonization, revenge, and sacrifice, with nicely paced action sequences that will make your jaw drop.
We see you, James Cameron – and we also can’t wait to see what happens next.
5. The Worst Person In The World
You never really stop coming of age – an idea fantastically explored in Joachim Trier’s funny, relatable, romantic, highly emotional The Worst Person in The World.
Renate Reinsve stars as the indecisive, impulsive Julie, roaming through life (and Oslo), striving to juggle following her heart with making bad choices, desperately wanting to find something to commit to.
It manages to chronicle late twenty-something malaise with refreshing authenticity throughout its 12 chapters, thanks to its impeccable Oscar-nominated screenplay and mesmerizing, outstanding performances.
The quiet, gut-punch moments are best balanced with naturalistic wit, and the fantastical sequences (a city frozen in time as Julie runs towards her desires; a psychedelic trip interspersed with animation) elevate it even further.
