For the first time this year, a whopping ten new films have been added to this feature, speaking to the depth and breadth of domestic and international films presently available to intrepid cinephiles. Still, while a plethora of must-see offerings lay directly ahead, the current multiplex, art-house and VOD landscapes are immensely crowded as well. From Steven Spielberg’s highly anticipated remake of West Side Story and Guillermo Del Toro’s star-studded re-do of Nightmare Alley, to Aaron Sorkin’s classic-TV biopic Being the Ricardos and Joel Coen’s Shakespearean The Tragedy of Macbeth, the race to qualify for best-of lists (and the Oscars) should pay immense dividends for moviegoers in the coming weeks, who are going to have a heck of a time figuring out which titles are worthy of their dollar. The pandemic may have done a number on the industry’s theatrical business, but it hasn’t stopped filmmakers from churning out great works, many of them debuting in the coming month, which is set to be as busy as any in recent memory. With December now here, the finish line is in sight for the cinematic year.
