Ebert’s Best of the Decade

December 31, 2009 by Ryan Adams in AWARDS CHATTER | Leave a comment
  1. Synecdoche, New York (2008)
  2. The Hurt Locker (2009)¬† “Apart from this psychological process, Katherine Bigelow’s film has a masterful command of editing, tempo, character and photography. Using no stunts and CGI, she creates a convincing portrayal of the conditions a man like James faces. She builds with classical tools. She evokes suspense, dread, identification. She asks if a man like James requires such a fearsome job. The film is a triumph of theme and execution, and very nearly flawless.”
  3. Monster (2004)
  4. Juno (2007)
  5. Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005)
