These 2023 movies reigned supreme on the big screen
BRIGHTEST AND THE BEST

1 BARBIE 

Want to know how to think out of the (pink) box? Take the seemingly perfect doll (Margot Robbie) and wake her up to the harsh gender-imbalanced realities beyond the utopic Barbieland. But Greta Gerwig’s comedy truly resonates because its messaging came wrapped in delightful candy-colored entertainment.

2 MAESTRO 

In his second directing effort, Bradley Cooper takes on iconic composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein. Yet this is no ordinary womb-to-tomb biopic. Using artful construction and a towering score from the musical genius himself, Cooper focuses on Bernstein’s troubled romance with wife Felicia (Carey Mulligan). Not pitch-perfect, but pretty darn close.

3 AMERICAN FICTION 

For this blistering satire, a frustrated academic (Jeffrey Wright) decides to rail against an industry that tends to limit Black storytelling to traumatic and poverty narratives. Amid the outrageously funny moments, it shines as a relatable and poignant family melodrama.

4 AIR 

A footnote in which a Nike marketing whiz (Matt Damon) attempts to sign Michael Jordan to a contract in 1984 has inspired a terrific movie. Considering that Air Jordans now epitomize corporate culture, it’s a minor miracle director Ben Affleck (who also plays CEO Phil Knight) delivered such a shaggy underdog story about gumption, optimism and faith.

Rebirth of Kelly Osbourne

Kelly Osbourne is feeling herself. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I don’t think I look my age,” says the star, who turned 40 on Oct. 27. She’s right: It’s hard to believe it’s been 22 years since she entered our living rooms along with her famously outrageous family in the groundbreaking MTV reality series The Osbournes. Despite appearances, she’s certainly lived a lot of life over the past two-plus decades, battling addiction, mental health issues and body shaming, both from the media and her own inner voice.
