1. The Witch (elegant literary horror, beautifully directed, written, and acted)
2. The Bling Ring (underrated comic gem, great performance by Emma Watson)
3. Midsommar (frightening daylight horror with another superb Florence Pugh performance)
4. The Florida Project (heartbreaking dramedy about an entire world next to The Magic Kingdom every bit as immersive in its dark way)
5. Under The Skin (underrated sci-fi/horror masterpiece, ScarJo's best performance (till Marriage Story), darkly contemplative)
Honorable mentions:
American Honey (wonderful performance by Shia Lebeouf, funny, compelling can't-tear-your-eyes-away entertainment)
Mid90s (underseen superb debut by Jonah Hill; brought back a lot of childhood memories, both good and very, very bad)
Eighth Grade (a film with a lot of hard truths about the banality of childhood when you don't look like an Abercromie and Fitch model; the ordinary as horror story)
