I stupidly missed out on this (didn't realise there was a deadline) but am posting my top 10 anyway:

10. Monster
9. Passages
8. The Holdovers
7. Barbie
6. Anatomy of a Fall
5. Past Lives
4. The Eight Mountains
3. All Of Us Strangers
2. Poor Things
1. Zone of Interest

I feel like 10-7 are broadly on a par; then 6-4; then 1-3. It's so hard to separate the top three because they are all brilliant but so, so different to each other.

Honourable Mentions:
Totem
One Fine Morning
Oppenheimer
Fallen Leaves
Perfect Days
Housekeeping for Beginners

Oh crap, I forgot that I saw Barry Lyndon and Embrace of the Serpent this year, which would have really made choosing a list difficult.

It's interesting that Barbie and Oppenheimer both made a lot of lists and didn't top many at all. Might just be because so many people saw them due to all the hype.

I think they are great movies in their own ways but they both failed to really move me. I like films that make me feel something.

Monster is one of his best, imo. After Broker (while still a good movie) had me like “yeah Kore-eda I get it now” Monster really felt like something new and a big return to form

I thought Broker was very good but Monster is even better.
