London, Europe Brief News – Despite 2021 being kind of a shite year overall, it was actually a fairly good year for films. So many 2020 releases were delayed due to COVID-19, which made 2021 a shockingly robust year for le cinéma.
And because of the glorious gift that is vaccines, people actually got to watch them in theaters. What a world! We got blockbusters like Shang-Chi and haunting indies like Spencer, campy dramedies like House of Gucci and stunning musicals like In The Heights. We were spoiled, TBH! And that looks like it’s going to continue into this year. There are so many 2022 movies to get excited about.
1- ‘The Worst Person in The World’
Starting this list off with something relatable as hell, The Worst Person in The World follows a young woman who can’t figure out what the heck to do about (1) her love life or (2) her career.
2- ‘The Batman’
Robert Pattinson as Batman, with an accent that is so deep, so gravelly, so absurd… it’s giving: I will need subtitles. But seriously, Zoë Kravitz in a catsuit.
3- ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’
Michelle Yeoh stars in this multiverse movie which forces her to question the choices she’s made and whether she would have been better off choosing a different path for herself. Warning: this movie will make you cry.
4- ‘Top Gun: Maverick’
If you don’t get the chills when you hear the first few notes of the Top Gun song, IDK what to tell you! But this movie has been in the works for legit years and stars every single attractive man.
5- ‘Fire Island’
A queer riff on Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice that takes place on, you guessed it, Fire Island? Don’t mind if we do. Joel Kim Booster, Bowen Yang, and Matt Rogers star in this delightful comedy, which is going straight to Hulu for your viewing pleasure.
