Evaluation of the year In his article highlighting the best movies of 2021, Richard Brody of ''The New Yorker'' said, "From an artistic perspective, 2021 has been an excellent cinematic vintage, yet the bounty is shadowed by an air of doom.

The shift toward streaming was already under way when the pandemic struck, and as the trend has ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
