Tonight, screenings will begin for the 62nd New York Film Festival. NYFF has already had Press and Industry screenings (better known around town as P&I screenings) going on since last week, but today kicks the festival off for real. As always, the fest is another opportunity to appreciate the most prestigious movies of the season. Hot on the heels of the Toronto International Film Festival for me (and a little before that, the Telluride Film Festival), New York is always very much a homecoming for me. After TIFF, NYFF will again seem positively quaint. Make no mistake, however, the quality here is going to be off the charts, as always. I’ve seen a lot of what’s playing, at least in terms of the notable movies, but still, the fest does not lack for interesting titles.
Without question, NYFF is always home to the finest in a year’s cinematic offerings, and 2024 will be no exception. Again, and much like last year, I’ve seen a number of them already at Telluride and TIFF, so I know this to be true. Things like Anora, The Brutalist, Emilia Pérez, The Friend, and Maria impressed me while in Canada and Colorado, or at least screened, while A Real Pain worked in a big way for me back at the Sundance Film Festival. That’s just the tip of the iceberg too, as you’ll see below…
Here now are twenty films to look forward to at NYFF:
