The 40 Best Movies of 2023 (So Far): <\/h1>\n

As 2023 chugs into its final months and many of the year\u2019s most anticipated films are still waiting in the wings for their fall or winter debuts, the year has already provided an absolute sm\u00f6rg\u00e5sbord of cinematic delights for those who know where to look (or are lucky enough to live in the kind of place where AMC isn\u2019t the only game in town). <\/p>\n

Many of the highlights \u2014 including heart-stopping immigration dramas \u201cR.M.N.\u201d and \u201cTori and Lokita,\u201d as well as the more narcotized likes of \u201cGodland\u201d and \u201cPacification\u201d \u2014 are inevitable holdovers from last year\u2019s Cannes lineup, while more recent festival breakouts like \u201cCassandro,\u201d \u201cEarth Mama,\u201d \u201cFlora and Son,\u201d \u201cRye Lane,\u201d \u201cPassages,\u201d \u201cTheater Camp,\u201d \u201cScrapper,\u201d \u201cThe Starling Girl,\u201d \u201cA Thousand and One\u201d have already made their way down the mountain from Sundance. There are even an assortment of still older festival picks, like \u201cMonica,\u201d \u201cFalcon Lake,\u201d \u201cThe Blackening,\u201d and \u201cMaster Gardener\u201d that have finally arrived on American shores, along with the release of British indie hit \u201cBlue Jean.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the most pleasant surprise of the movie year so far is that several of this winter and spring\u2019s new releases have wildly over-delivered on expectations (e.g. \u201cM3GAN,\u201d \u201cAre You There God? It\u2019s Me, Margaret\u201d), while auteur-driven fare like Wes Anderson\u2019s \u201cAsteroid City,\u201d Celine Song\u2019s \u201cPast Lives,\u201d Ari Aster\u2019s \u201cBeau Is Afraid,\u201d and Makoto Shinkai\u2019s \u201cSuzume\u201d have taken such great pleasure in confounding them.<\/p>\n

As for the smash hits by any and all metrics? Look no further than \u201cBarbie,\u201d \u201cOppenheimer,\u201d \u201cMission: Impossible \u2013 Dead Reckoning Part One,\u201d and \u201cSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,\u201d which delighted movie-goers and critics, and made a pretty penny while doing so.<\/p>\n

With new work from masters and favorites like Martin Scorsese, Michael Mann, Emerald Fennell, Sofia Coppola, and Yorgos Lanthmios on the immediate horizon \u2014 and surely many other gems set to emerge during the rest of the fall festival season and into the winter \u2014 there\u2019s reason to hope that this already excellent year in film still has many gifts to bestow.<\/p>\n

Here are our picks for the 40 best movies of 2023 (so far). We will be updating and refining this list throughout the year as new films are released.<\/p>\n
