Hello hello! Somehow it’s mid-january already, 2023 has flown by at Mach 10 speed, and better late than never, here's my favourite films of 2023 (meaning that left the most lasting impression on me). This is still going to probably change in the next few days, but here’s my fluid Top 20 at the moment.
Disclaimer: I have included films that were released late 2022 (particularly in France) that I watched in 2023.

I’m also proud to have completed the 52 Films Directed by Women Challenge! Here's the list in case you're looking for something interesting to watch: 52 Films by Women | 2023 challenge

My 2023 sum up of film and TV…
Favourite movie with a cinema release - Barbie
Favourite TV series - Fellow Travelers
(Honourable mentions to - Heartstopper s2, Morning Wars s3, Lessons in Chemistry)
Favourite romcom - Red, white and royal blue
Favourite TV series that concluded in 2023 - Succession
Favourite Australian series - The Newsreader
Shows I think were underrated- Shrinking and Minx
Most overrated shows - House of the Dragon, The Last of Us
Most overrated movies - Oppenheimer and Maestro
Favourite performances - Jonathan Bailey, Matt Bomer, Nicholas Galitzine, Sam Reid, Anna Torv, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Anniston, Brie Larson, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook.
My biggest complaints- still not enough: well written female or POC characters, female or POC protagonists, female or POC screenwriters, female or POC directors. (Nice that we are starting to see improvements in trans and non-binary representation on screen)
Most looking forward to in 2024…
Movie - All of Us Strangers (January release here in Australia)
TV - Mary and George and Interview with the Vampire s2
