Best Films of 2022: Individual Ballots

By Film Comment on December 15, 2022

The results are in for our 2022 poll of Film Comment's contributors and colleagues! On this page, you’ll find a selection of the individual ballots submitted by our voters for the Best Released Films of 2022 category, covering features that were released either theatrically or virtually in 2022 in the United States. To see which films came out on top, check out our Best Films of 2022 list, which features original appreciations from critics, as well as links to features, reviews, and interviews about these films and directors from across the year.

And for new films that our voters loved but which do not yet have stateside distribution, check out our Best Undistributed Films of 2022 list.

Peruse the poll results of yesteryear.
