28th "An Irish Person" FILM Awards RECAP!!


2023 was a brilliant for film I believe with so many singular film visions but on the screen. The year was full of great films by both new discovery directors but also some of the best working directors making some of the greatest films in their entire filmography. This year I managed to recognise 47 films with at least one nomination. No film scored over ten nominations with me with many films receiving nominations showing how wide spread the quality of films was this year. My top 10 goes to show how varied the really great films were this year.

1. May December

2. Past Lives

3. Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé

4. Anatomy of a Fall

5. Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.

6. Joyland

7. The Zone of Interest

8. Barbie

9. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

10. Perfect Days


To all of you who even took time to read any of these posts I appreciate it. Goodbye to you all and I'll see you again next year to celebrate the best in film.
