SCREEN SHARING BEST FILMS: 10 TO 6

10 A Real Pain
Jesse Eisenberg effortlessly walks a tonal tightrope in this film about Jewish American cousins on a Holocaust tour in Poland. But Kieran Culkin steals the show.

9 Nickel Boys
This adaptation of Colson Whitehead’s novel about two young friends trapped by institutional abuse is told with piercing beauty by RaMell Ross.

8 It Was Just an Accident
An unfortunate encounter with a dog sets off a chain of surreal, grotesque events in Jafar Panahi’s Palme d’Or winner, which exposes the corruption and tyranny at the heart of Iran.

7 The Mastermind
Kelly Reichardt’s quietist, observational style is unexpectedly successful at creating a supernaturalistic depiction of an art gallery robbery.

6 Riefenstahl
Andres Veiel shows how the filmmaker loved by Hitler hit the heights with her Berlin Olympics movie – and how she tried and failed to save her Nazi-tinged reputation.

5 Marty Supreme

When reports started to emerge that Timothée Chalamet was going to play a ping pong champion in a film called Marty Supreme, the world (including this correspondent) rolled its eyes. Was Hollywood’s most annoying actor going to go for broke in what promised to be the most irritating film of all time? I am here to hold up my hand and say that first impressions couldn’t have been more wrong. Marty Supreme is one of the most exciting, indeed sensational films of the year.
