And the Best English-language film of 2022 is "The Banshees of Inisherin." That's this year's choices for the top movies from the Boston Society of Film Critics. As always, an eclectic, entertaining, and challenging group of films. Watch 'em all! #bsfc #movies

The Boston Society of Film Critics names "Return to Seoul," Davy Chou's stunning drama of an unmoored young woman, the best film of 2022. As is the case when an international film wins this award, we then vote on best English-language film. (This happened last year when "Drive My Car" won best film and "The Power of the Dog" was voted best English-language film.) #bsfc #movies #ReturnToSeoul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaPiUlPpRWE

Best Director goes in three rounds of Boston critics votes to Todd Field for "Tár" -- a challenging and meticulously constructed drama of a powerful figure's downfall. #bsfc #tar #movies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na6gA1RehsU

Okay, sit down for this one: Boston critics award the prize for Best Ensemble Cast --in a tie and after a rather heated discussion -- to both "Women Talking" and "Jackass Forever." #bsfc #movies #WhyNotBoth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pD0mFhMqDCE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNq-QT2Jpng

The Boston critics loved Colin Farrell in "The Banshees of Inisherin" and they loved him in "After Yang" -- two movies that couldn't be more different -- so they voted him best actor of 2022 for both movies. #bsfc #movies #ColinFarrell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vg5URwH8EI

Keeping the "Everything Everywhere All at Once" momentum going, Michelle Yeoh is named Best Actress of 2022 by the Boston Society of Film Critics. #bsfc #movies #EEAAO #MichelleYeoh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a3KOVZWWkE

The Boston Society of Film Critics names Ke Huy Quan best supporting actor of 2022 for his role(s) in "Everything Everywhere All at Once." Delighted about this one but also wouldn't have minded runner-up Barry Keoghan ("Banshees"). #bsfc #movies #EEAAO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxN1T1uxQ2g

Kerry Condon has been named Best Supporting Actress for her role as the one sane person (and, not coincidentally, one of the few women) in "The Banshees of Inisherin." #bsfc #movies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRu3zLOJN2c

Screenwriter time: The Boston Critics award Martin McDonagh's "The Banshees of Inisherin" Best Original Screenplay and "After Yang" (script by writer-director Kogonada from a short story by Alexander Weinstein) Best Adapted Screenplay. #bsfc #movies #screenwriting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwp32zLc08c

Who's the best new filmmaker of 2022? The Boston Society of Film Critics says it's Charlotte Wells, director of the pellucid father-daughter story "Aftersun." The award is given in the memory of critic/radio host David Brudnoy. #BSFC #movies #aftersun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9jOaggGPKQ

Back from a lunch break, and the Boston Society of Film Critics names Laura Poitras' "All the Beauty and the Bloodshed," about photographer-activist Nan Goldin, best documentary of 2022. This award has been renamed the Lucia Small Documentary Award in honor of the Cambridge-based filmmaker -- and friend to many BSFC members -- who passed away last month. #bsfc #movies #documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXgF7bskfvo

Pixar's meta-metaphoric "Turning Red" is named Best Animated Film of the year by the Boston critics in a tight three-way vote with "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On" and Phil Tippett's "Mad God." #BSFC #TurningRed #Pixar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdKzUbAiswE

A strange voting year continues, as the Boston Society of Film Critics Best awards DP Eliot Rockett Best Cinematography of 2022 for both halves of Ti West's horror diptych, "X" and "Pearl." #bsfc #Pearl #cinematography #movies

Boston film critics go six rounds of voting in the Best Editing category to end up with a rare tie: "Decision to Leave" (editor, Kim Sang-beom) and "Aftersun" (Blair McClendon) both win. #BSFC #movies #DecisionToLeave #Aftersun

Voting is underway in the annual meeting of the Boston Society of Film Critics. First award: Best Original Score goes to M.M. Keeravani's music for "RRR." #movies #RRR #filmusic #BSFC
