I’m convinced last year was the best movie year in, like, a decade at least. I count at least seven movies I would call “masterpieces” (Phantom Thread, Florida Project, Dunkirk, Call Me by Your Name, Lady Bird, and Lost City of Z, I Am Not Your Negro).

I came here to single out Idles and Shame. If you like Idles, you'll definitely like Shame 

Shame’s debut LP was the best punk/post-punk album I heard this year 

Is Ignatiy back at the AV Club, or is this a one-off review? Either way, it’s great to read him again! One of the few movie critics whose writing has a style distinct enough that I could recognize it without a byline.
