TYF’s Best Films of 2016

Gabrielle Bondi’s Top 10 Movies of 2016

Despite the losses (and there were many), 2016 brought us a great year of film almost as consolation. Barry Jenkins and Damien Chazelle dazzled us with stories of dreamers and lost souls, each showing how far and wide the art of cinema can take us. The rest of the list is full of unconventional comedies, coming of age stories for women young and old, a dour but realistic look at our government or financial bigwigs look down on the impoverished.
