16. 16
    The Great Hack (2019)

    ★★★
17. 17
    Just Mercy (2019)

    ★★★★

    Reminds me of The Green Mile (1999) with the trope of trying to bring justice to someone wrongly lined up for death row.

18. 18
    Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)

    ★★★★

    Past Lives in corsets. It is the kind of film that trusts tiny gestures and quiet moments to carry emotions rather than relying on dramatic dialogue.

19. 19
    Doctor Sleep (2019)

    ★★★★

    Hot take: this is better than The Shining.

20. 20
    Ne Zha (2019)

    Ne Zha is a tragedy of a child born cursed.

    Not in my wildest dreams did I think there would be a bodybuilding competition for cosplayers.

35. 35
    The Lighthouse (2019)

    ★★★

    The film immediately stands out through its immersive sound and production design, where the environment feels alive and oppressive rather than just background.

    Ready or Not (2019)

    ★★★
46. 46
    Sound of Metal (2019)

    ★★★

    The film turns sound into emotion. Instead of just watching a character lose hearing, it becomes more about control, denial, and learning to stop fighting reality.

48. 48
    Triple Frontier (2019)

    ★★½

    Everything feels real. Walang studio look, hindi siya mukhang movie set.

54. 54
    The Farewell (2019)

    ★★½

    Wala pa sa fifteen minutes naluluha na agad ako.

55. 55
    Murder Mystery (2019)

56. 56
    Toy Story 4 (2019)

    ★★

    The cinematography is the highlight for me.

57. 57
    The Irishman (2019)

    ★½

    It has the same vibes as Goodfellas, The Godfather, and The Departed with its mafia centered story and criminal world.

58. 58
    It Chapter Two (2019)

    ★½

    Yeah, as the first act said, “It echoes.” And that is exactly how the movie feels.

59. 59
    The King (2019)

    ★

    What stands out to me visually is how the film embraces a raw historical atmosphere.

60. 60
    The Silence (2019)

    ★

    Oh, these people would really love electric cars.
