Best in Show: 2023 Year in Review Extravaganza!

The Letterboxd crew pops the champagne and rounds up a roundtable for a celebration of 2023 cinema! We detail the results of our annual Year in Review, highlight the highest rated films of the year across categories and continents, reflect on the controlled chaos of our own personal stats and anticipate what 2024 has in store (the returns of Robert Pattinson and Bong Joon-ho). Plus, a New Year’s present from the creative team behind our community’s #1 favorite: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Featuring the voices of Slim, Mia Lee Vicino, Gemma Gracewood, Brian Formo, Mitchell Beaupre, Sophie Shin, Ella Kemp, Flynn Slicker and Aaron Yap.
