Best-Reviewed TV Movies 2020
It’s a confusing time to be a TV movie, sharing the at-home spotlight with big-budget would-be blockbusters or awards-bait independent films that debuted on streaming or VOD while most movie theaters were dark. Hello, Soul and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. We see you, Minari and Sound of Metal. All of those show up in the “Best Movies” category of our Golden Tomato Awards. The TV Movies category may as well be called the HBO Category this year, because aside from Showtime’s The Go-Go’s, every film is from the cable network, starting with powerful documentary, Welcome to Chechnya, which documents the detention, torture, and execution of LGBTQ Chechens under Ramzan Kadyrov’s leadership. HBO drama Bad Education, based on a true story and starring Hugh Jackman and Allison Janney, follows in the No. 2 spot.
