All The Movies CinemaBlend Gave 5-Star Reviews To In 2018
These days, it's rare to walk out of the movie theaters and find absolutely nothing to complain about related to the film you've just escaped into for a couple of hours. Audiences can usually find something to complain about, especially with the glut of sequels, remakes and reboots out there. Sometimes movies will also hit all of the technical buttons, but fail to sweep the audience away with its story or emotionality.
In 2018, quite a few movies have come quite close to perfection, such as some of our 4.5-star earners like Avengers: Infinity War, Hereditary, If Beale Street Could Talk and Mary Poppins Returns. However, eleven films were nabbed flawless 5-star ratings from our reviewers this year and it's time to revisit which ones exceptionally dazzled our critics.
The list ranges from buzzy blockbusters, high-acclaimed awards contender and under-the-radar gems. Some mark striking directorial debuts while others add to the careers of distinguished auteurs. The 5-star rating seems to have been awarded to films across just about every genre, setting and pocket of time. Did you see CinemaBlend's highest-rated films and do you agree? Take a look:
Paddington 2It's rare for a sequel -- especially in a family film to earn itself a as much as praise as Paddington Bear's return to the big screen received early in the year. Perhaps the involvement of director Paul King in both films allowed Paddington 2 to land well with audiences so undeniably so effortlessly two times around. The family film had the perfect amount of adorable, humorous, heartfelt moments... and marmalade sandwiches.
From our review:
It keeps everything to love about the first film, and takes it into a new and fresh direction that's squarely at home in the universe it has created. If you're looking for a good kids movie that translates well with parents, an emotional masterpiece that digs deep while keeping you smiling, and a pure example of why sequels can still be a good thing, Paddington 2 is all of the above.
AnnihilationFollowing Alex Garland's 2014 directorial debut Ex Machina, this year's Annihilation solidifies the filmmaker as perhaps the most mesmerizing and unique sci-fi storytellers today. Centering on biologist and former military officer Lena, played by Natalie Portman on a secret expedition to mysterious zone called "The Shimmer" comes a horrifying, thought-provoking and beautiful addition to the genre.
From our review:
With its dense themes about human nature and self-destruction wrapped into its narrative, and a finale that is clearly designed to promote endless discussion, Annihilation is a film that will proudly carry the label "heady sci-fi," but also never lets contemplation totally outweigh thrills. There is certainly a deliberateness to the storytelling, allowing the audience to fully absorb the world of The Shimmer, but it also feels like at no point is it ever more than 10 minutes away from scaring the hell out of you...
A Quiet PlaceAt a time when the horror genre is getting a resurgence, A Quiet Place certainly feels like one of those rare titles that will define it. It's built upon a simple but terrifying concept: maintaining silence is how this family will survive. John Krasinski's manipulation of sound and lack of it is the perfect recipe for some clever tension, along with it cleverly doubling as a heartfelt family drama too.
From our review:
In the same way that film a film like The Babadook addressed the concept of grief, or how Get Out shined a light on racism in modern America, so too does A Quiet Place offer up a fascinating look at the struggles of parenting and keeping a family together in the face of adversity. There's a palpable thematic richness to the movie that elevates it above even the best surface-level thrillers, and it helps give A Quiet Place far deeper emotional core than the traditional horror romp.
Eighth GradeThis coming-of-age indie about a preteen's last week at an eighth grader before entering the depths of being a high school freshman is a strikingly believable and universal tale that even those who didn't grow up in an age of Snapchat and Twitter can identify with. Elsie Fisher plays protagonist Kayla Day, an introverted young girl who attempts to make a channel on YouTube to appear like she's got it all figured out and delivers one of the best performances of the year.
From our review:
You may not recognize the faces in Eighth Grade, but you'll recognize the heartache, the awkwardness, and the tenderness it exudes in an expertly crafted manner. And just like the week that this film takes place over, that hour and a half in Kayla's world feels longer and richer than it seems.
BlacKkKlansmanSpike Lee has been directing critically-acclaimed films about the Black experience in America since the 1986's She's Gotta Have It. His latest film, BlacKkKlansman is a wild-yet-true story about a police officer (John David Washington) who infiltrates a local Ku Klux Klan chapter in the '70s when he enlists Detective Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver) to help him investigate. BlacKkKlansman is unmistakably Lee's style that blends the issues of the time with humor.
From our review:
Spike Lee leans into this dissonance throughout the course of BlacKkKlansman, which borders on both a comedy and visceral political drama at different points throughout the 135-minute runtime. Lee has always made hyper-stylized films, and BlacKkKlansman is no exception. While the issues of race, intersectionality, and extremism are at the film's heart, it ultimately bounces along thanks to the myriad moments of levity.
A Star Is BornThis may be a fourth film of the same name and core story, but thanks to a truly unique pairing of Bradley Cooper's first directorial efforts and sincere onscreen chemistry with Lady Gaga in her first leading role, it makes for something quite special to witness. A Star is Born is a heartbreaking relationship drama about a believable flawed romance full of stunning musical performances from both Gaga and Cooper.
From our review:
Rather than give the audience the standard formula that they would expect from a film such as A Star Is Born, Cooper delivers a sprawling relationship drama that fully captures a realistic picture of love. There are still fights and failings between his Jackson and Gaga's Ally, but none of it is played for Hollywood spectacle. Rather, it's delivered with such relatable emotion and execution that you fall along with them, while feeling every heartache along the way.
The Front RunnerSome true stories beg to be told on-screen, and the story of the fall of Gary Hart's 1988 presidential campaign has proven to be one of them in this year's The Front Runner. Hugh Jackman stars as the Democratic candidate who once was a shoe-in for the position until stories of a scandalous love affair started being followed by the press. The Front Runner is a balanced adaptation of Hart's story, perfect for starting discussions about the ever-relevant subject.
From our review:
It's as entertaining as it is informative. This is also one of the most important films in our current political moment, laying out the origins of how we got to the political media complex we inhabit today. The fact that _The Front Runner _is as polished and entertaining as it is just makes it all the better to behold, but for every ounce of substance Reitman's film possesses, there's an equal amount of vital introspection present and accounted for.
RomaFollowing the massive success of Alfonso Cuarn's Gravity back in 2014 comes Roma, a project that is much closer to home for the award-winning filmmaker. Roma comes from a loose-interpretation of Cuarn's childhood in Mexico City in the early '70s, making for a beautifully detailed work and an intimate drama. The fact that it's shown in black and white and is a foreign-language film made by Netflix makes it quite an experimental project; however, it feels like a universal story for all.
From our review:
But it's the bold risk, and the personal reward, that's attached to Roma that makes it so special. Alfonso Cuaron is a master as visual detail, and his magnificent cinematography -- he stepped in as Director of Photography after his friend, the equally brilliant Emmanuel Lubezki had to exit the project -- is gorgeous and packed with detail. You could watch Roma multiple times and focus on different portions of the frame, discovering something new and different -- and yet, intentionally included by the filmmaker -- each time.
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-VerseAudiences have been oversaturated with Spider-Man over the years as multiple Peter Parker's have been continuously reintroduced. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse brings the multiverse into play (along with yet another Peter Parker); regardless, it still manages to be the best of the bunch. Into the Spider-Verse is an incredible feat of animation centering around Miles Morales' origin story that opens up some exciting possibilities and impressively pays tribute to the comic books.
From our review:
There are many ways in which it is different than every Spidey movie we've seen -- it's animated, it doesn't center on Peter Parker, and it features a depiction of the multiverse -- and each of those elements plays a major factor in making it a unique and special event. However, what stands above all else is the way in which it cuts to the core of what makes Spider-Man not only an entertaining icon, but an important one, and in doing so coalesces as both a phenomenal and breathtaking experience that is one of the best superhero features ever made.
Cold WarWho knew that not one but two foreign films (shot in black and white) would make for among the best of 2018? Cold War is from Polish writer/director Pawel Pawlikowski, best known for his highly-praised 2013 movie, Ida. Cold War is a love story between two people of different worlds during the rise of Communism. The couple's story is told over the span of a decade, with their ups and downs chronicled through brief snapshots over the years.
From our review:
The most lasting impression Cold War has on its audience is that it's a film that tells its conventional story in an unconventional manner. Rather than throwing Wiktor and Zuzanna into a straightforward narrative, the story of Pawlikowski's dour, and in all honesty toxic, romance is told by, in essence, snapshots in time. We never linger with these characters too long, as time and locales shift when the story needs them to.
ViceWriter/director Adam McKay used to be best known for his Will Ferrell comedy hits Anchorman and Talladega Nights. Recently McKay has been exploring important stories that shaped the turn of the 21st century such as in 2015's The Big Short and now with Vice. The movie is about Dick Cheney, the most powerful Vice President of the United States to date. Christian Bale makes an incredible transformation in the role with frequent collaborator Amy Adams as his wife.
From our review:
The movie takes you on a surprisingly epic journey, chronicling his rise from drunken college fail out to Vice President of the United States, and weaves a phenomenal story that is a complex mix of oddity, awfulness, revelation, and devastation... and that's all without mentioning the all-timer performances from its remarkable leads.
