Best-Reviewed Movies 2020: Limited Release
Some will quibble that Portrait Of A Lady On Fire is even on this list, given the dent it made in last year’s awards season. But the film was officially released – after showing in just a handful of cinemas in 2019 to qualify for the Oscars – February 14, 2020, in the U.S. And so Céline Sciamma’s gorgeous romance takes out Best Limited Release and tops a formidable list of indie titles. Several of the titles focus on families, and specifically the bond between parents and their kids, and what happens when those bonds come under strain (Minari, Miss Juneteenth, The Father, and Driveways), while the category also includes three stellar documentaries, including the ultra-timely 76 Days, which places viewers in a Wuhan hospital in the earliest days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
