Continua la cavalcata dei critici cinematografici statunitensi, che da qui a fine anno assegnano i propri premi al meglio del cinema del 2024 che si sta per chiudere. Nel weekend passato, la critica online di Boston, quella di San Francisco, di St. Louis e di Toronto hanno detto la loro.
Senza però concordare sul film designato migliore dell’anno. Perché se a Boston ha trionfato The Brutalist di Brady Corbet, a San Francisco la spunta Anora di Sean Baker, a St. Louis gli preferiscono Dune: Parte 2 di Denis Villeneuve e Toronto incensa Nickel Boys di RaMell Ross.
