The Year in Movies

from KQED's Forum · host KQED

What was your movie of the year? Maybe you were one of many who donned hot pink at the theaters. Maybe your movie of the year is one that just came out, or one you felt never got its due. 2023 was a weird year for movies: the SAG strike prevented actors from promoting their work; Marvel and Disney flicks underperformed; few expected “Barbie” to be the massive box office hit it was. We hear from critics about their favorite films of the year and the throughlines that connected them. From multifaceted, new and unexpected storylines about women, to examinations of evil and the everyday way it manifests, the best and worst of 2023’s movies have a lot in common. Join us to share the film that stood out to you this year, and to get ideas for movies to watch over the holidays. Guests: Alissa Wilkinson, movie critic, New York Times Dave Schilling, contributing writer, LA Times Image Kristen Meinzer, co-host, the podcast "Movie Therapy with Rafer and Kristen" Learn more about your ad choices.
