(Editor’s note: Since December/January is a time for everyone to make year-end best-of lists, we asked our staff to do the same. First up is Milwaukee Film's Senior Director of Development Partnerships and Strategy (aka the SDodPaS) Sebastian Mei with his top ten movies of 2018!)

Sebastian's Top Ten of 2018!
(In no particular order!)

 

 

BlacKkKlansman
(dir. Spike Lee | USA | 2018)
 

- A brilliant and unusual combination of historical, intense, funny and horrifying

 

 

Free Solo
(dirs. Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, Jimmy Chin | USA | 2018) 

- Incredible cinematography and an amazing portrayal of human accomplishment (with a side of personality disorder)

 

 

Eighth Grade
(dir. Bo Burnham | USA | 2018)

- Awkward and lovable in all the right ways

 

 

Boy Erased
(dir. Joel Edgerton | USA | 2018)

- A painful, but ultimately uplifting, tale about a young, gay man and his conservative, religious family

 

 

Black Panther
(dir. Ryan Coogler | USA | 2018)

- Awesome

 

 

Game Night
(dirs. John Francis Daley, Jonathan Goldstein | USA | 2018)

- There should be a "horroromedy" genre. Action, comedy, violence, gore!

 

 

Juliet, Naked
(dir. Jesse Peretz | USA/UK | 2018)

- Fun, silly and far-fetched romcom

 

 

Isle of Dogs
(dir. Wes Anderson | USA | 2018)

- Wes Anderson + puppies = magic

 

 

Wildlife
(dir. Paul Dano | USA | 2018)

- A beautifully shot, time-capsule of life in the 1960s with a chronically driftless husband, a resentful wife and their kind, earnest teenager caught in the middle.  

 

 

Pet Names
(dir. Carol Brandt | USA | 2018)

- A gorgeous, minimalist character drama set in Wisconsin

 

 


Thanks, Sebastian! Stay tuned for more top ten lists over the next two months!
