Behold: Our annual best-of-the-year poll is finally here! Check out the 10—well, 14—films our staff collectively liked the most in 2019.

Plus, some blurbs on five films that especially stood out to us!

In addition to contributing ballots to our aggregated top 10, a few members of our editorial board wrote about some films that meant something to them, whether or not they made our final list.

Film at Lincoln Center recently hosted a new restoration of Béla Tarr's seven-and-a-half hour epic Sátántangó. Alan Wu saw it, and wants you to know why it's worth every minute of your time!

The primary reason that Sátántangó is so able to lift its weight across seven-and-a-half hours is because its main vocabulary of long takes naturally generates a blood flow of images that is consistent in tone and utterly hypnotizing.

With Jessica Hausner's new film Little Joe set for release early this December, Audrey Zhang takes a look back at the Austrian filmmaker's 2014 darkly comic Amour Fou:

Basing Amour Fou upon this ridiculous story from early 19th century Germany, Hausner presents the impossibility of romantic love.

Our first review from this year's New York Film Festival is here! Etan Weisfogel provides a dissenting view on the hotly anticipated new Safdie Brothers film, Uncut Gems.

The Safdie Brothers make films driven by the ego—I mean that in the psychoanalytic sense mostly, though one detects a bit of the word’s more colloquial definition in their new film Uncut Gems. More on that later, perhaps; for now, Freud. The protagonists of Heaven Knows What, Good Time, and now ...

And finally for this round: Madeleine Collier on Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma.

Nevertheless, there is enormous power in Cuarón’s decision to frame an epic-scale narrative about Mexico in transition around an indigenous woman; one who speaks in her native mixteca as well as Spanish, who enacts a coveted cinematic role as central vo**ur, who brings the viewer into each of man...

Next up: Sasha Starovoitov on Tamara Jenkins' Private Life.

Private Life is a heartwarming, at times heartbreaking, work that succeeds in uniting stereotypes, tropes, and genres to remind viewers of the power in “dramedy.”

Get ready for one more blast of NYFF 56 pieces! Our coverage of the festival continues with Liz Sobolik's review of Mark Bozek's The Times of Bill Cunningham.

The beauty of this documentary lies in its ability to forefront Cunningham’s impression of himself without pandering to the audience, hungry for anecdotes to establish a sense of closeness to Cunningham—a reluctant celebrity whose work hinges on his ability to disappear into the sidewalk.

The textiles, each unique and colorful individually, combine to form a cohesive body of art that seems to transcend borders.

We're still working through all the films we saw at NYFF this year! Check out Etan Weisfogel on the last known film made by Orson Welles, which premiered at the festival nearly 40 years after it was shot (and which you will able to watch on Netflix come November 2nd).

In considering The Other Side of the Wind as Orson Welles’s final statement, one must come to terms with the fact that it is no longer really his film.

Another NYFF dispatch! Here's Crystal Lua on Christophe Honoré's Sorry Angel, a q***r romance set in the '90s:

By the time the film draws to a close, Honoré’s made sure we’ve seen it all: plenty of mourning, s*x, and smoking on picturesque Parisian bridges.
