I somehow found myself watching 5 of the 10 Best Picture nominees this year. Of those, my ordering would be:

Poor Things > Past Lives > Oppenheimer > Barbie > Killers of the Flower Moon

Poor Things was a fucking wild movie. Whatever ads and previews I saw on TV did not give away (to me at least) what that movie was truly about.

Past Lives surprised me quite a bit. It's a movie of quiet, silence, and unspoken things. I could see many finding it to be boring and slow, yet I oddly enjoyed it very much.

Oppenheimer was good but wasn't a real favorite of mine.

Barbie was much more subversive than I expected. Absolutely not a movie for kids. Mostly enjoyable, with Ryan Gosling being the standout.

I didn't really enjoy Killers of the Flower Moon. Lots of big names giving good performances but I didn't enjoy the plot. I just spent the entire movie waiting for DeNiro's character to get his comeuppance.
