1. Bergman Island
You know when you wake up from a dream and you're not exactly sure what's real and what isn't? You think, "wait, did I really have a math test?" Or "did I actually go to a party with that person?" Bergman Island lives in those few seconds, balancing in the moments of twilight. Two married American filmmakers, Chris (Phantom Thread's Vicky Krieps) and Tony (Tim Roth), travel to Fårö Island off the southeast coast of Sweden, where Ingmar Bergman shot the majority of his films. Once there, they both work on separate projects, hoping that the island itself will inspire them. However, when Chris starts writing a screenplay, the characters Amy (Mia Wasikowska) and Joseph (Anders Danielsen Lie) come to life, blurring the lines of fantasy and reality.
2. Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry
On the one hand, the O'Connells are a typical American family. They live in a nice but modest house in Los Angeles. The brother and sister like making up songs in the brother's bedroom. On the other, those songs just happen to bring in millions (sometimes billions) of streams and amount to the mega-famous wunderkind known today as Billie Eilish. It all began (just as the doc does) with "Ocean Eyes," a song written by the brother-sister duo turned viral on SoundCloud when Billie was just 13, but the doc then refocuses most of its attention on the period between 2018-2020, as Billie and brother Finneas write and record Billie's debut album. The film shows everything from Eilish being dissatisfied with her Coachella performance to throwing her phone on the floor over a boy, unpeeling the layers of a superstar, and reminding the viewer that she is still human. Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry is shortlisted for Best Documentary Feature for the 2022 Academy Awards.
3. CODA
With a compelling story, an ensemble of Oscar-worthy performances, and a feel-good, teary ending, Siân Heder’s coming-of-age film could easily be considered the most crowd-pleasing among this list. Further proof: It took home the Audience Award at Sundance last year before selling to Apple for $25 million (the largest sale to ever come out of Sundance). The story in this quietly history-making film centers on Ruby (Locke and Key star Emilia Jones), a teenage girl — and the only hearing member of her family — who must decide between pursuing her dreams of becoming a classically trained singer or staying back and helping with her family business. Marlee Matlin and Troy Kotsur, notably both deaf actors, round out this emotionally effective movie with measured, heart-tugging performances as her parents.
4. The Card Counter
What if I told you a revenge thriller came out last year starring Oscar Isaac, Tiffany Haddish, and Willem Dafoe produced by Martin Scorsese and written and directed by Paul Schrader? Because it did! And Haddish's dramatic turn here should not be missed! The Card Counter follows Tell (Issac), who learned to count cards during a 10-year stint in a military prison. Tell lives a quiet life, to stay under the radar; he bets small and wins small at the casinos. When a young man named Cirk (Tye Sheridan) finds him and pleads with him to help take down the Colonel (Dafoe) in charge of putting both Tell and Cirk's father in prison, Tell feels compelled to help him. Tell sees it as an act of redemption, but assisting means facing Tell's biggest demons — the Colonel and himself. Isaac and Haddish were not a romantic pairing I saw coming, but their chemistry will charm you!
5. Concrete Cowboy
It can be hard for a child star, especially one we love, to jump from adorable kid to serious actor but that is exactly what Stranger Things star Caleb McLaughlin does in Concrete Cowboys. Films like this make me believe even more that there should be a Best Casting award at the Oscars because pairing McLaughlin and Idris Elba as father and son, was brilliant. Concrete Cowboys was inspired by the Fletcher Street Riders, a community of Black horse-riders throughout North Philadelphia. Cole (McLaughlin) is getting into trouble in school, so his mom sends him to Philadelphia for the summer to live with his estranged father Harp (Elba). When Cole walks into Harps's home for the first time, he is met with a horse in the living room. From there, Cole is caught between a life of crime and his connection with the horses and the community of Black cowboys.
