Our pick of the films of 2021

[Michie]

2021 was a strange year for the film industry. Covid-19 closed the theatres for many months; a number of movies appeared first on streaming services like Amazon and Netflix.

We’ve selected a dozen of the year’s releases for our readers. Not all of them are Oscar material, but they all combine artistry, engagement and reasonably humane values which put them a cut above the rest.

We’ve done our best to cater for all ages and interests. No doubt we’ve left out some of your favourites – please leave comments with your suggestions.

CODA (Children of Deaf Adults) was very good. Only on Apple TV. It's worth a one month's subscription just to see that. (and I see that it's up for the Oscar for Best Picture.)
