In 2023 I watched 140 films. Of these, 90 (64 %) were released in 2023 (per IMDb). While there's still plenty of films from 2023 I haven't gotten around to watch yet, I still wanted to take a look back at the films of 2023.

First of, the best of the best, in particular order:
⬥ Flora and Son
⬥ The Persian Version
⬥ True Spirit

These were three absolutely amazing films - in each their own way. They fully captivated me and took me along each their journey.

So how did 2023 compare previous years in regard to great films?
Well, let's look at my 8+ ratings, as I feel that in a good comparison of the better-than-just-good films.

As you can see, films (or/and me?) have still been in a slump since 2020 - and 2023 didn't change that. I hope there's some hidden gems leftover from 2023, that I just haven't gotten around to yet. Do you have any recommendations?
