Every year is different when it comes to not only film, but how I rate those top 10 of the year. Voting for the Chicago Film Critics Association and for the Critics Choice Association, I feel that it’s my duty to see as close to “everything” as I can and to make sure that I use my own voice when ranking the films. Frequently, I find that critics, including myself, get caught up in the buzz and allure of a film rather than finding a movie that truly speaks to you individually. Making a concerted effort to do just that, I have a unique list of movies that I proudly proclaim as my Top 10 Films of 2022.
