I migliori film del 2022 secondo i critici di Los Angeles, New York e Boston

Continuano i premi della critica, e dopo i Gotham Awards e i NYFCC sono stati annunciati ieri i premi della Los Angeles Film Critics Association (LAFCA), della Boston Society of Film Critics della New York Film Critics Online.

Everything Everywhere All at Once e Tár sono stati messi in evidenza dai critici losangelini, con un doppio primo premio. Il film di Todd Field però ha ottenuto anche il premio per il miglior regista e la migliore attrice con Cate Blanchett, che ha condiviso il riconoscimento con Bill Nighy per Living (la categoria è diventata gender-neutral). Ricordiamo che dal 2000 solo quattro vincitori del premio come miglior film della LAFCA non hanno ottenuto la nomination come miglior film agli Oscar. Un anno fa il riconoscimento era andato a Drive my Car.

I critici di Boston hanno invece incoronato Return to Seoul come miglior film, mentre i critici online di New York hanno scelto Gli spiriti dell'Isola.
