My top 10 films of 2022
Very weak year for films.
Only found one 9, so far...
Rise Roar Revolt being in 2nd place is a bit mad, because any other year that would probably struggle to even place in my top 10.
Found lots of decent films that I rated 7's, but they are mostly just filler for this list.
I remain hopeful that many Asian films that were actually released in 2022 will appear in the western world in years to come.
