Of those, 351 received positive reviews from critics (scoring 61 or higher). (See the chart below.)Ī total of 604 films released during 2018 received at least seven reviews from top professional critics. In fact, there were 15 such films in 2018, setting an all-time record. It was the fourth consecutive year in which the number of truly outstanding films-marked by Metascores of 90 or higher-was in the double digits. Multiple critics recently noted that 2018 was a good year for film, and the numbers bear that out.
All that's left to determine is whether Roma will become the second #1 film in three years (following 2016's Moonlight) to win best picture at the Oscars-though, it should be noted, no foreign-language film has ever done so. (Unsurprisingly, it's also dominating critics' year-end top 10 lists.) It's the first time since 2011 that a foreign-language narrative film has taken the top spot in our year-end chart. The director's black-and-white, Spanish-language Netflix drama Roma is 2018's highest-scoring film.
And, yet, it appears that Cuarón has made his masterpiece. So it's hard to call his latest film his "masterpiece" given that he's already made so many acclaimed films.
In 2017, when we ranked the best directors of the current century so far, Alfonso Cuarón placed first with a 87.5 average Metascore.
