I'd go for "Fire Island", have you watched it?
Men
Bodies, Bodies, Bodies.
I couldn't stop laughing.
You already covered most of them, but "Bardo" it's actually pretty neat, amazing visuals with magic realism plot.
Ah, the best time of the year are year-end lists! Nice choices!
Glad you enjoyed!
"You Won't Be Alone" is pure poetry. I loved it.
It was like a great poem, indeed. But some aspects of the cinematography and the storytelling were underwhelminhg. Not a big fan of that movie, as a whole. Some scenes made me shake though, beautifully.
By the way, how is Babylon not in your top 10 of 2022 ? That movie is top 10 21st century ! Damn
@@mellifluente I need to see Babylon still. I was told to pass on it by some friends, but now I keep hearing how crazy good it is. Might watch it today.
BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR YEAR-END LISTS, EXCELLENT VIDEO😍
Decision To Leave is amazing. My favorite since Park Chan-wook's The Handmaiden 🔥
Also your voice is very calming hahah
Happy Holidays, Ms Mariana! Great list and always an absolute treat. I have been wanting to see Fresh, Resurrection, Decision To Leave. I loved Apollo 10 1/2 & The Outfit ❤️😊
Thanks for this list! Definitely will be checking out these movies! 😁😁😁
After Yang has been the most underrated film of the year for me. In my opinion I’d say Kogonada deserves an adapted screenplay nomination. And all of the performances are stellar!
Just discovered your channel and really enjoying your videos
Hi Ms. Mariana, great list I gotta say! Still waiting for your best of list for 2022. Can't wait.
Awesome video, as always :) Cannot wait to see these, especially ‘Decision to Leave’. My own personal favorite underrated movies this year are ‘Vengeance’ (although its opening scene on the NYC rooftop made me worry that we were in for a bad movie lol) and ‘Watcher’ (which I think can be put into conversation with Alfred Hitchcock movies in productive ways, namely because it’s Hitchcockian but-on multiple levels-told through a “female gaze”). I also liked a weird little comedy called ‘Spin Me Round’ which I thought was hysterical, but it’s very niche humor, so it’s recommended with an asterisk; Alison Brie gives an amazing performance in it.
Thanks, Zack! "Watcher" is definitely a good pick for this. While it was a bit too slow for me, I could totally see an audience that would really love it, and it looks gorgeous.
Great list! Decision to leave is masterful. Only one I would personally add as underrated is On the Count of Three because it masterfully blends extremely dark comedy with thoughtful drama and somehow remains truly funny throughout
I keep forgetting it got released this year - I saw it at Sundance almost 2 years ago, definitely a very good movie that deserves more attention.
@@ImpressionBlend Release schedules are so crazy over the past few years. Getting a proper wide release 2 years later seems so odd, especially when they aren't making any major edits to the movie. I saw you recommend it years ago and that is one of the reasons I checked it out so thanks for that! Always appreciate your perspective.
Love the commentary
Great taste! you won't be alone is my top 3 in 2022, rest I haven't watch are on my list now, thanks for recommending, subbed!
Thank you so much for this video, there's a lot of films that I have not watched and you made me highly interested in them. As far as my picks go, I mainly have two: The Menu and Nope. I know they're on the more mainstream side of things, but I still think those films deserve more love and attention. NOPE is ana mazing film, the sound design alone is masterful and creepy as hell. As for The Menu, it's a great thriller and a fun satire.
Lastly, have you watched Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio? I am sure you're going to like if not love that film. When it comes to animation, it's number one for sure. Can't wait for your next video!!!
Decision to Leave absolutely but also your background is incredible
Thanks! Years later, I finally discovered the power of putting up a fireplace on my TV instead of just having a black rectangle as part of my background )))
Great picks. Weird, Apollo 10 1/2 & Fire of Love were 3 of my favorite films of the year. Looking forward to your Top 10.
Just saw Decision to Leave and it was a little difficult to follow but ultimately was satisfying. It was beautifully made and acted. Thanks for reminding me about The Outfit. One of my favorites from last year. In a perfect world Rylance would get another Oscar nomination for it. It’s a must-watch.
Great content as always. Looking forward to checking out Aftersun and Next Exit. Thanks for the recommendations. Some films from 2022 that I think may have gone overlooked are Cha Cha Real Smooth & Vesper. And despite its runtime (because it tends to discourage people), everyone should give RRR a shot. Great entertainment. Cheers.
Added Apollo 10 1/2, You Won't Be Alone, and The Outfit to my watchlist! Thanks for the recs -- I can't believe I didn't know that Linklater had a new movie...
Glad to see someone talking about Resurrection!! That movie was so bizarre in a great way, really understated and creepy. Amazing performances and leaves you wondering what the hell you just watched.
Thank you for the list, I have some catching up to do. To add a suggestion for all in the documentary vein, I highly recommend Tiger 24. Never a more vivid depiction of the drawn lines between civilization and nature. It’s fascinating.
That fireplace behind you looks dope
Thanks ))
She looks doper💕
Most enjoyable voice on CZcams. Music to my ears!
I seriously have to watch "Apollo 10-1/2" (definitely hadn't heard of this) since I was exactly 10-1/2 the night of the moon landing and my mom worked in some kind of secretarial capacity on the Apollo program, so I had grown up with it, but got too tired to stay up that night and went to bed and missed the actual live feed. I also went to the LA premiere of "Next Exit" since I was a fan of both actors from their work with Mike Flanagan, and really liked it a lot, so it was nice to see it on your list. I also need to see pretty much every other film on this list, and especially glad you reminded me of "Fire of Love" which I was sad to miss in theaters.
Love these picks! Still have to watch Aftersun and Weird Al but now I can add Next Exit to my list. If I had to list some underrated movies from 2022, I'd definitely mention The Innocents and Dual!
Hope you watched Aftersun. It destroyed me 💔
very interesting listand concept. cant wait to see Decision to Leave, i looooved The Outfit and agree with everything you said, its just a perfectly executed movie and its hard to dislike anything about it. Nice shout outs to Fresh, Weird and Aftersun, AND Resurrection (tim roth this year and Reb Hall in horror stuff lately, geez) and ill be on the lookout for Next Exit that one is new to me :) personally i would add Sundown, Emily the Criminal and All the Old Knives
Marianna, I love your taste in movies. I will absolutely be watching your suggestions :)
Thank you! Hope you enjoy!
Excellent video Marianna. Loved it. That’s an awesome list there. I haven’t actually seen any of these movies yet, but I’ve heard great things about them all, so really excited to check them out.👍
Let me know if you end up watching any. I hope you discover some new favorites!
@@ImpressionBlend yeah will do.👍
Thanks for the recommendations. I will certainly check "The Outfit". I found "Prey" very underrated this year :)
Absolutlely the best ' Top 10' movie summary/review channel I've found. And I've watched almost all!!!❤
Thank you! The outfit looks ace.
First time I've hit your site. These are really underrated. They're almost forgotten.
Excellent!!!
“Decision to Leave” is one of the best movies I saw this year as well. Loved the vídeo.
Thank you!
First video of this kind that has inspired me to add several movies to my "to watch" list.
What a list; Thank you for curing my boredom.
Fantastic list
Glad you enjoyed it
My most underrated movie of the year is Athena. Others on my list are Watcher, Significant Other, Decision to leave, Cha Cha Real Smooth, The Greatest Beer Run Ever, and Entergalatic. Great list you listed movies I've haven't seen!
I don't watch a ton of films so I always appreciate your lists to help me find the best ones. I've had Fresh & Weird on my radar... I'll see if I can track them down
Always happy to help! More recommendations coming soon )) "Fresh", I'm pretty sure, is on Disney+ in Canada, and it's definitely on Hulu in the US. "Weird" seems to only be on the Roku channel, but you can stream it for free with ads. Hope you enjoy!
@@ImpressionBlend Fresh is on Disney+?! 😱😱😱 I figured that was too dark for the mouse. I know it was on Hulu at one point.
Underrated/underseen by genre:
Horror: You Won’t Be Alone (Macedonia)
Fantasy: 3000 Years of Longing
Drama: Happening (France)
Historical: 13 Lives
Comedy: Paris, 13th District (France) and Cha Cha Real Smooth
So glad someone else is talking about You Won't Be Alone. That one's stuck with me for months.
Nostalgic for a time you never experienced. I think there is a word in Welsh that describes that emotion. "Hiraeth" - inspires a nostalgic longing, a sort of melancholic homesickness.
It is also a word used to describe a time or place you cannot return to, or one that never was. Similarly, hiraeth can be the yearning for something that cannot be experienced, attained or completed. The piece of music you won’t hear, or the garden you’ll never visit. Perhaps a person you won't ever talk to, or a someone who never existed at all.
Quite a good word.
I watched fresh, decision to leave, fire of love , resurrection and the outfit and omg they are all soooo good thanks for sharing.
I trust your opinion . I will check them out. Ive seen a few on your list and agree that they belong on your list.
The outfit was awesome, I would also put Emily the Criminal into the list
While I wasn't the biggest fan of the animation style. I did really enjoy Apollo 10 1⁄2: A Space Age Childhood & I'm glad more and more people are finding out about it.
I am Spanish and one of the best movies we had this year is As Bestas. It's just an amazing thriller drama set in a small village in Galicia, that shows us an intense duel between neighbours. I won't tell anymore. You have to watch it. Such a fantastic film you don't know because it's Spanish and not internationally promoted.
I'll have to look that one up, thanks for the recommendation!
How about best international movie list 2022?
You're great, thanks
* notification pops up* = I'm literally running to watch, hit the like and share. Loooove this channel
Aww thank you so much, that’s so sweet of you! Happy holidays ❤️
1) All Quiet on the Western Front
- Points for Score, Costumes & immersive Play
2) X (by Ti West)
- Points for Idea, Setting, Look
3) The Sea Beast
- Points for a perfect feel-good-movie
Thank you, saw 4 out of the 10. Definitely going to watch the 6 I didn’t watch.🎉
Another underrated and mostly unknown, Polish horror movie called 'Hellhole' on Netflix, is one I highly recommended. Beautifully shot, incredible atmosphere, creepy and unsettling vibe with some slow burn tension. Very good acting and decent English dub. I'm sad that this movie is so overlooked, it's almost impossible to find on Netflix as they've barely promoted it all, it doesn't even have an official trailer. I think a lot of people will enjoy this one.
Haven't heard of that one, will definitely check it out!
@@ImpressionBlend I really hope you do! I thanked the director via IG and praised him for such a good movie considering the budget etc. It's such a shame that movies like this don't get the promotion they deserve.
... I massively dug the outfit. Do you have suggestions of other movies like it? I mean a play-like thriller ...
Weird is definitely an underrated movie and an artist biopic that represents the artist's body of work so perfectly.
Cant wait for your fav movies of 2022
Love your taste ❤
Thank you!
I just discovered Apollo 10 1/2 and absolutely loved it!
I definitely agree with many of your picks. I'd throw Vengeance. in the conversation.
Maybe it's because I'm from Texas, but I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It's like a true crime podcast as a film, that has something to say and it's really funny. And it does a good of poking fun at Texas and true crime podcasts while not looking down on them.
Thank you, Sean! Totally agree about "Vengeance" - really appreciated how it was written and Ben's character arc.
Nice segment... very analytical. Any chance you could review my film AURORA 663?
Not knowing it was a videotape, was honestly the one that makes Aftersun works for me. The twist at the end is the magic of the cinema i've been longing for so long
spoilers?
@@trevorevansyoung yeah, kinda
I love Rahul Kohli! I’ll definitely give Next Exit a watch.
I recently watched The Fire Within by Werner Herzog. It's based on the same couple. It was on BBC4 a couple of months ago. I don't know what the differences are but it was a fantastic watch.
Great list. So many great under the radar films, you have pointed out here. My fav was 'Apollo 10 1/2'
Rebecca hall was incredible in 'Resurrection', especially her long monologue (oner) shows how an underrated actor she is.
I'd also add 'To Leslie' to this list, Andrea Riseborough's acting deserves an Oscar nom. She's a force in that movie.
Well, I have some catching up to do. Haha. Will you talk about House of the Dragon before the year ends?
I like your description of Apollo 10.5. but while you liked it, I loved it. It reminded me of Liquorice Pizza in that it put me in a particular american place about 50 years ago, except that it really worked, whereas LP kind of worked.
I love that Julianne Nicholson gave birth to both Weird Al and Marilyn Monroe in the same year!
I love Resurrection, Weird, and The Outfit! Still need to catch up on your other picks :) Here are mine:
All My Friends Hate Me - Ruben Ostlund-esque dark comedy verging on horror that uses awkwardness and social anxiety to cringe the viewer into submission.
Confess, Fletch - The funniest film of the year that got unfortunately shit-canned by its distributor. Jon Hamm proves to be a perfect Chevy Chase substitute and I would be fine if he only played comedic roles going forward.
Emily the Criminal - A modern day Dog Day Afternoon; that is, a socially minded crime thriller featuring Aubrey Plaza's best performance.
Hatching - A Finnish coming of age body horror with extraordinary monster effects and a surprisingly humane, empathetic point of view.
Inu-Oh - A visually dazzling Japanese anime that is a medieval, fantasy, buddy comedy, serial killer rock musical. Need I say more?
On the Count of Three - A pitch perfect dark comedy about suicide featuring razor sharp writing and an incredible central duo of writer/director Jerrod Carmichael and Christopher Abbott
Rothaniel - (honorable mention because it's a special and not a film) - Jerrod Carmichael's heart wrenching sit-down stand-up comedy special. It's far more emotional and complex than you'd expect from a stand up special, while still being hilarious, and it's directed spectacularly by Bo Burnham
Soft & Quiet - The MOST disturbing film I've seen this year. A day-in-the-life style film following a white supremacist who, at first, keeps those beliefs close to her chest, while appearing on the surface like an everyday wine mom. It's also shot and edited to appear as one continuous take; one from which you cannot escape.
The Wonder - Probably on my top 10 if I'm being honest. An ethereal, weird, hypnotic story about faith, fanaticism, science, and storytelling. While the trailer shows you a period piece, the actual film quickly tears down the curtain in a surprising way; one that changes how you view the film and how you interpret the events as they unfold onscreen.
Thank you for all of your recommendations! I've seen a few, but not all, so I will definitely check out the rest.
Resurrection...very very good!
i loved The Outfit!
I watched Apollo 10 1/2 with my dad, it was a great experience because he was living his nostalgia lol.
Aww that's awesome
There is also the documentary by Werner Herzog, "into the inferno" where he mentions the story of the couple of volcanologists
For me the most underappreciated movies of 2022 are :
thirteen lives
Speak no evil
Deadstream
I love my dad
Rogue agent
A thursday
Raymond and ray
A Thursday : is good, but try "A Wednesday" (Indian)
I will watch all of these in the next 30 days, I knew about some of them, but they all seem amazing
Have you seen 'Speak No Evil' ????? OMG that movie was insane ! great horror film that came out this year! it should definitely be on your list! E
Marcel the Shell With Shoes On and Laal Singh Chaddha for me!
You won't be alone is one of the best film that i've seen in 2022. It's slow but very clever. A must !
I will definitely die on Babylon hill with you. No Northman? No Whale? Banshees was too little everywhere , all at once and Everything all at once turns out to be too much. :). Nice list overall. PS - If you have X on the list, you need Pearl too!
Yes to The Outfit! This is a tiny treasure I wish had gotten more attention....
You Won't Be Alone was fucking nice. I'll check out some of the other ones I didn't know. Thanks!
Marianna returns at the turning of the tide!
Alas there are films that haven't made here yet. But from this remove I'd have to say, In hierarchical order these.
2022 was a fair year. I think we can agree that the last stellar year was 2019. But here's to 2023. And peace in Ukraine.
შობას გილოცავთ!
The Northman
Everything Everywhere All At Once
Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
X
Mad God
The Batman
Top Gun: Maverick
The Menu
Bones and All
Fall
Elvis
MIA till 2023: Barbarian, Smile, Glass Onion, TÁR, etc.
a hot take, this list underrates Aftersun
Great list! thanks for the video.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Marianna Neal Thanks Much !
Man, can't wait til i see Decision to Leave
Did you watch braking bad and better call saul ? Masterpieces 👌
Only watched Breaking Bad, it’s great, of course!
The Outfit is great. Very underrated film
What Camera You Use and Mic ??
Athena deserves to be talked about more. Easily some of the most impressively shot sequences I’ve ever seen.
I still need to check that one out.
Thirteen Lives for me. I think it deserves nominations for best picture and director by the Academy.
I was searching comment section just for this one. Marvelous movie about real life incident that had almost unbelievable conclusion. I would recommend Thirteen Lives for anyone.
Top underrated movies.
1. The Quiet Girl
2. Aftersun
3. EO
4. Decision to Leave
5. Living
6. Bones & All
7. Holy Spider
8. The Eight Mountains
9. This Much I Know To Be True
10. La nuit du 12
11. Girl Picture
12. Sick of Myself
13. Speak No Evil
14. So Damn Easy Going
15. You Won't Be Alone
16. Novembre
17. Hunt
18. En Corps
19. Emily
20. Klondike
A few of those are definitely on my list, but unfortunately not available yet
@@ImpressionBlend I know, a lot of these titels still need to have wide US and European releases. It's always strange to have seen so many films in advance. Most of these I saw at the Berlinale and at Cannes early in the year. (The benefits of working for another filmfestival.)
I just watched and enjoyed a little movie called Save Yourselves! Kind of different but enjoyable.
Bullet Train is probably the most underrated of the year for me. Because truly, I don’t think people are giving it the credit it deserves.
I think it's been finding its audience more recently, but initially - I agree, very underrated. What a fun movie!
Seen all but You Won't Be Alone, I’ll check it out. For me the most overlooked film of the year is easily The Quiet Girl.
I don't know if we can even count "The Quiet Girl" as overlooked - it's not available to watch. For the most part, it only played at festivals, the US release was a one week run in like 3 theatres in NY/LA, and you can't buy, rent or stream it. So that one is on the distributors, unfortunately.
@@ImpressionBlend damn. That sucks. Well I hope you get to see it at some point anyway.
@@gavinhenderson7250 I hope so too, I've only heard the highest praise about it
I liked Fall, where they climb the tower. I know absolutely no one talked about.
Fresh should've gotten similar love as Pearl and barbarian
You won't be alone sounds similar to the anime/manga "To Your Eternity "
Please drop yout favourite films of 2022 asap ..I always cant wait to see your favorites every end of the year
Loved your list! I had a few of the same ones on mine, plus I learned about a few other interesting titles I need to look into. Here’s my list of the most underrated films of 2022:
(Chronological order)
AFTER YANG - A24, Colin Farrel, must see!
PETITE MAMAN - Celine Sciamma, quiet and heartfelt
THE NORTHMAN - ultimately didn’t get the attention it deserved IMO
THE BLACK PHONE - I think it got overshadowed by Barbarian and Smile
VENGEANCE - BJ Novak’s thriller deserved more attention
EMILY THE CRIMINAL - Aubrey Plaza was fantastic in this film!
DECISION TO LEAVE - Two words, Tang Wei 😍👏
APOLLO 10 1/2 - Linklater nails childhood of that era, so good! Netflix needs to start going theatrical
All 10 Movies listed hurt my Testicles
I would Recommend Bones and All, Kimi and Bodies Bodies Bodies mostly myself as underrated
I actually almost included Bodies as underrated, but it seems to be gaining popularity. Definitely one of my favorite horror movies of the year!
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is so funny and underrated
Bardo and The Northman 👀
