Todd McCarthy reviewed films for Variety for 31 years. He was the ideal critic for the paper -- better, we now realize, than it deserved. His reviews and the reviews of Kirk Honeycutt at the Hollywood Reporter were frequently the first reviews of a new film to see print. Honeycutt fortunately continues.

After Songs My Brothers Taught Me and The Rider, Chloe Zhao completed a trilogy of features about the modern American West and its itinerant residents with this hauntingly resonant, female-centric road movie starring a fits-right-in Frances McDormand. And Zhao has already finished her next film, Marvel’s Eternals.
Anthony Hopkins caps a terrific career with his astounding turn as an Alzheimers-afflicted old father in Florian Zeller’s supremely nuanced screen adaptation of his own theater piece. The art direction is a subtle and telling as are the performances.
Another Sundance 2020 highlight is this startling revenge tale that goes all the way and then some, with Carey Mulligan pulling out all the stops to put over Emerald Fenell’s daringly audacious first feature.
In another year of many outstanding documentaries (yes, this was at Sundance too), Kirsten Johnson’s collaborative and often riotously funny tribute to her dementia-afflicted father is incontestably unique.
Steve McQueen pulled off something distinctive and penetrating with his quintet of films about the difficulties faced by West Indian immigrants in London from the early 1970s onward. Each is distinctive in its own way, but Mangrove, at feature length and climaxed by a historic trial, is arguably the most powerful and fully realized of the group.
Sundance also provided the launching pad for Emma Sullivan’s simultaneously riveting and appalling documentary about the murder of a female Swedish journalist at the hands of a demented Danish inventor aboard his own hand-made submarine.
Pixar again proves itself as the gift that just keeps giving with this venturesome departure from the company’s norm. Pete Docter’s distinctive style is compounded here by the jazz-accentuated score in a tale that inhabits numerous realms, one more delightfully intriguing than the last.
Staten Island is the only New York borough I’ve never been to, simply because no one ever said it was worth even a look, but Judd Apatow and Pete Davidson’s film absolutely merits a journey as it brings an entirely unheralded community alive with humor and insight.
Rod Lurie has sometimes flirted with real quality during his eclectic career, but he finally put it all together in this film, a tight, concentrated, unrelentingly intense account of a dreadful Alamo-like siege on an Army outpost during the war in Afghanistan.
This possible career capper by veteran Mexican director Arturo Ripstein will probably never be released in the United States (I saw it at Toronto 2019), so it seems like now or never to salute this bizarre, claustrophobic, superbly directed Last Tango-like study of sexual obsession on the part of a dissolute couple in their 70s. To be sure, there’s...
