If I Could Make Everyone See One Movie This Year, It’d Be This

Slate  

In Slate’s annual Movie Club, film critic Dana Stevens emails with fellow critics—for 2024, Bilge Ebiri, K. Austin Collins, Alison Willmore, and Odie Henderson—about the year in cinema. We’ve talked a bit about the current state of moviegoing, but more often than not, what I find is that most people just don’t even know what movies are playing for them to go to. Speaking of distribution: Dana mentioned No Other Land, the documentary about the ongoing destruction of a West Bank village, which spent the year winning awards at festivals but still somehow couldn’t find a distributor, though in this case it got a brief self-distributed run in New York to qualify for awards, and it looks as if it will be opening at Film Forum in January. As the film’s protagonists remind us, nobody in the outside world is interested in seeing one chicken coop get destroyed or one well get filled with concrete.

Under normal circumstances, the fall season is an exciting time of renewal for regular moviegoers, an occasion to shake off the late-summer blahs and survey the cinematic scene with renewed anticipation and excitement. One movie that clearly did find its audience was “Dune,” which came away with the biggest trophy haul — hardly a surprising outcome for the year’s biggest …
