For people who are having trouble getting to an enthusiastic ten:
Break your ballot into the would-be-numbered section
Then after a para break, fill it out with a B-features section of things you liked but don't consider top-ten material, and I'll give these ten points each
And if you really want to throw some bones around, go ahead and include a C-tier for one-pointers.

I'll try to watch at least one more 2019 movie that I think I will like before ballots are due, otherwise I'm giving points to Dora and the Lost City of Gold

which at least is notable for probably being the only English/Spanish/Quechua film made for American children to date?

Varda by Agnès
Not formally available for home viewing yet. But the distributor might make arrangements during the pandemic?

For UK ppl: CH4 screened the Maradona doc earlier this week. On the catch up for the next month.

This gets harder every year. When the hell was 2019? Was midsommar 2019, it feels like it came out ten years ago

Grass is so wonderful. Very much 2018 (world premiere February at Berlin), but I might also vote for it now if other people have seen it this year.
― Frederik B, Monday, 30 March 2020 22:49 (four years ago) link
I really liked Little Joe. It was my kind of horror film. Like with Lourdes it feels like the director walks a line and leaves it up to the viewer to decide what is really going on
― Dan S, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 01:34 (four years ago) link
very stylized sets, costume design, production, sound
understated but intriguing performance by Emily Beecham
― Dan S, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 01:52 (four years ago) link
also loved Synonyms. Tom Mercier is astonishingly good in his first film role
― Dan S, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 02:04 (four years ago) link
Grass is a 2019 US release. Haven't seen it. Hotel by the River also '19 (and his best in awhile).
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 31 March 2020 02:15 (four years ago) link
I'll vote for what others vote for, and a lot of ilxors are from the US, but can we drop the idea that the US release date matters? It's a South Korean director, and his films always premiere in Europe.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 08:10 (four years ago) link
It doesn’t matter for the poll, people are just chit-chatting about dates for the heck of it
― Dollarmite Is My Name (sic), Tuesday, 31 March 2020 08:15 (four years ago) link
I am including a Straub-Huillet film and would encourage people who engaged with that season on MUBI to list one instead of moaning.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 08:20 (four years ago) link
If it didn't matter everyone would consider Sorry We Missed You which just got digitally released in the US, and which is absolutely and obviously a 2019 world/uk release. But it does, and the US ilxors will consider it for 2020.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 08:37 (four years ago) link
Films can be voted for in multiple years, as evidenced by the fact that films keep placing in multiple years. This is a) fine and b) fun.
― Dollarmite Is My Name (sic), Tuesday, 31 March 2020 09:04 (four years ago) link
I don't think it's that 'fun' that non-US film systematically places lower on these lists due to the parochialism of US ilxors.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 09:15 (four years ago) link
It'll happen no matter what, but can we try and work against it if possible?
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 09:16 (four years ago) link
posted grass because it was first screened in the uk in 2019

i voted & otm to that
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 14:22 (four years ago) link
Fred, I get what you're saying, but no matter where you draw the lines there will be people who don't have access to films you want to vote for. Non-US films don't always march in date-solidarity either! Every ILX poll process puts great films on my radar. Surely that's the point, and not what outranks what.
― Cherish, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 14:36 (four years ago) link
That's not what I'm talking about! To be clear, I don't begrudge anyone voting for anything they have seen. I'm just tired of the US parochial bullshit where if it didn't premiere in the US, then it didn't count. We do this a few months into the next year, so there's plenty of time for 2019 films to get a 2020 US release, and if a voter is too narrow-minded to then check them out and vote for them, then fuck them.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 15:03 (four years ago) link
Works both ways though. Plenty of 2018 films didn’t get a UK release until well into 2019, no doubt some of these will get votes.
― Dan Worsley, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 15:05 (four years ago) link
It should only work like that
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 15:06 (four years ago) link
Seeing a 2018 film in 2019 and voting for it = goodSeeing a 2019 film in 2020 and voting for it = goodSeeing a 2019 film in 2020 yet not voting for it because you only care about us release = fuck you

a 2019 film is by definition a 2019 US release (fuck you)

I plan on watching Portrait of a Lady on Fire, which got a 2020 US release, now that it is available for streaming. Other 2019 films that had a 2020 US release - Sorry We Missed You, The Whistlers, Bacurau, I Was at Home But, The Wild Goose Lake, Beanpole, Corpus Christi, Bait, Zombi Child - are harder to get, and at least for me they require new subscriptions or downloading new apps on my TV. I really don't want to watch them on my laptop.

PoLoF had '19 week run in NY/LA
won't be voting for it; it's fine, getting too many woke points
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 31 March 2020 16:51 (four years ago) link
Since sic hasn't caught up yet, Dora and the Lost City of Gold is not in any streaming packages but digitally rentable everywhere from US $4.99 and you can get a Blu for $12.97 from northern New England-based book and media chain Bull Moose

don't think too hard, just throw a list together! put some ones you liked loads above some you just liked, don't worry about finessing each position.
