It's That Time Again

As the deadline for the 2023 Skandies rapidly approaches, I have time to watch a couple more eligible films. So this is a FLASH POLL. Which one(s) should I prioritize?

Thanks.

Comments

My jaw was on the floor for the entire final hour. So many "best scene" contenders.

Right. I have Pacifiction on deck just as soon as I complete Skandiefication.

Michael Sicinski

Ok, I DL'ed Barbarian, and I am almost two hours into A New Old Play. Will consider Resurrection, time permitting.

Michael Sicinski

Hasn't had a US release yet. So not eligible for this year's Skandies.

Pacifiction was the rare new release to stun me.

Cruelly voting for you to watch a 3 hour film (but hey, it's a good 3 hour film)

This movie is highly unlikely to be your thing but also Hall is freaking amazing. Thus far it's the only ballot-shifter in last minute due diligence/"what's convenient in NZ" watching. (Think I'm clocking out after two more: REFLECTION and AFTERSUN.)

I'd second RESURRECTION. On the surface, it's just another "elevated horror film," but it's much more perverse and ambiguous than something like MEN. Both Hall and Roth are terrific.

I am voting ONODA, in the hopes that I am not literally the only person that votes for it, but do feel free to bail if it does nothing for you after the first hour as it's as long as two others and its mode of operation continues in the same register.
