TrustMovies' BEST FILMS OF 2019 (out of what he's been able to view, at least)

Here they are, folk, and as usual, there are too many of 'em (26 this year: I'm just not good at paring down). To read my complete review of a film, simply click on the title link. If there is no link but instead an asterisk following the title, this signifies that I was not able to attend a critic's screening or obtain a screening link, and so actually paid money to see the film, sometimes rather late in the game, and so did not officially review it. The movies are listed in the order in which I saw each during the course of the year (remember that down here in Florida, films usually open one week to one month after they do in New York/Los Angeles). So off we go, back in time about twelves months....

* Didn't view this film in time to review it upon opening but saw it eventually. 

** Yes, it's an HBO/BBC cable TV series, but as it's the best thing I've seen on television all year, I'm including it on my list anyway.
