Ah, the best time of the year are year-end lists! Nice choices!

Decision To Leave is amazing. My favorite since Park Chan-wook's The Handmaiden 🔥 Also your voice is very calming hahah

"You Won't Be Alone" is pure poetry. I loved it.

After Yang has been the most underrated film of the year for me. In my opinion I’d say Kogonada deserves an adapted screenplay nomination. And all of the performances are stellar!

Just discovered your channel and really enjoying your videos

BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR YEAR-END LISTS, EXCELLENT VIDEO😍

Thanks for this list! Definitely will be checking out these movies! 😁😁😁

Great list! Decision to leave is masterful. Only one I would personally add as underrated is On the Count of Three because it masterfully blends extremely dark comedy with thoughtful drama and somehow remains truly funny throughout

Love the commentary

Hi Ms. Mariana, great list I gotta say! Still waiting for your best of list for 2022. Can't wait.

Added Apollo 10 1/2, You Won't Be Alone, and The Outfit to my watchlist! Thanks for the recs -- I can't believe I didn't know that Linklater had a new movie... Glad to see someone talking about Resurrection!! That movie was so bizarre in a great way, really understated and creepy. Amazing performances and leaves you wondering what the hell you just watched.

That fireplace behind you looks dope

Decision to Leave absolutely but also your background is incredible

I seriously have to watch "Apollo 10-1/2" (definitely hadn't heard of this) since I was exactly 10-1/2 the night of the moon landing and my mom worked in some kind of secretarial capacity on the Apollo program, so I had grown up with it, but got too tired to stay up that night and went to bed and missed the actual live feed. I also went to the LA premiere of "Next Exit" since I was a fan of both actors from their work with Mike Flanagan, and really liked it a lot, so it was nice to see it on your list. I also need to see pretty much every other film on this list, and especially glad you reminded me of "Fire of Love" which I was sad to miss in theaters.

Most enjoyable voice on RU-vid. Music to my ears!

Just saw Decision to Leave and it was a little difficult to follow but ultimately was satisfying. It was beautifully made and acted. Thanks for reminding me about The Outfit. One of my favorites from last year. In a perfect world Rylance would get another Oscar nomination for it. It’s a must-watch.

Awesome video, as always :) Cannot wait to see these, especially ‘Decision to Leave’. My own personal favorite underrated movies this year are ‘Vengeance’ (although its opening scene on the NYC rooftop made me worry that we were in for a bad movie lol) and ‘Watcher’ (which I think can be put into conversation with Alfred Hitchcock movies in productive ways, namely because it’s Hitchcockian but-on multiple levels-told through a “female gaze”). I also liked a weird little comedy called ‘Spin Me Round’ which I thought was hysterical, but it’s very niche humor, so it’s recommended with an asterisk; Alison Brie gives an amazing performance in it.

Thank you for the list, I have some catching up to do. To add a suggestion for all in the documentary vein, I highly recommend Tiger 24. Never a more vivid depiction of the drawn lines between civilization and nature. It’s fascinating.

Happy Holidays, Ms Mariana! Great list and always an absolute treat. I have been wanting to see Fresh, Resurrection, Decision To Leave. I loved Apollo 10 1/2 & The Outfit ❤️😊

Great picks. Weird, Apollo 10 1/2 & Fire of Love were 3 of my favorite films of the year. Looking forward to your Top 10.

Thank you so much for this video, there's a lot of films that I have not watched and you made me highly interested in them. As far as my picks go, I mainly have two: The Menu and Nope. I know they're on the more mainstream side of things, but I still think those films deserve more love and attention. NOPE is ana mazing film, the sound design alone is masterful and creepy as hell. As for The Menu, it's a great thriller and a fun satire. Lastly, have you watched Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio? I am sure you're going to like if not love that film. When it comes to animation, it's number one for sure. Can't wait for your next video!!!

Great taste! you won't be alone is my top 3 in 2022, rest I haven't watch are on my list now, thanks for recommending, subbed!

Absolutlely the best ' Top 10' movie summary/review channel I've found. And I've watched almost all!!!❤

Thanks for the recommendations. I will certainly check "The Outfit". I found "Prey" very underrated this year :)

Another underrated and mostly unknown, Polish horror movie called 'Hellhole' on Netflix, is one I highly recommended. Beautifully shot, incredible atmosphere, creepy and unsettling vibe with some slow burn tension. Very good acting and decent English dub. I'm sad that this movie is so overlooked, it's almost impossible to find on Netflix as they've barely promoted it all, it doesn't even have an official trailer. I think a lot of people will enjoy this one.

First time I've hit your site. These are really underrated. They're almost forgotten.

Excellent!!!

What a list; Thank you for curing my boredom.

very interesting listand concept. cant wait to see Decision to Leave, i looooved The Outfit and agree with everything you said, its just a perfectly executed movie and its hard to dislike anything about it. Nice shout outs to Fresh, Weird and Aftersun, AND Resurrection (tim roth this year and Reb Hall in horror stuff lately, geez) and ill be on the lookout for Next Exit that one is new to me :) personally i would add Sundown, Emily the Criminal and All the Old Knives

“Decision to Leave” is one of the best movies I saw this year as well. Loved the vídeo.

Nostalgic for a time you never experienced. I think there is a word in Welsh that describes that emotion. "Hiraeth" - inspires a nostalgic longing, a sort of melancholic homesickness. It is also a word used to describe a time or place you cannot return to, or one that never was. Similarly, hiraeth can be the yearning for something that cannot be experienced, attained or completed. The piece of music you won’t hear, or the garden you’ll never visit. Perhaps a person you won't ever talk to, or a someone who never existed at all. Quite a good word.

First video of this kind that has inspired me to add several movies to my "to watch" list.

Love these picks! Still have to watch Aftersun and Weird Al but now I can add Next Exit to my list. If I had to list some underrated movies from 2022, I'd definitely mention The Innocents and Dual!

Thank you! The outfit looks ace.

Marianna, I love your taste in movies. I will absolutely be watching your suggestions :)

Great content as always. Looking forward to checking out Aftersun and Next Exit. Thanks for the recommendations. Some films from 2022 that I think may have gone overlooked are Cha Cha Real Smooth & Vesper. And despite its runtime (because it tends to discourage people), everyone should give RRR a shot. Great entertainment. Cheers.

The outfit was awesome, I would also put Emily the Criminal into the list

So glad someone else is talking about You Won't Be Alone. That one's stuck with me for months.

My most underrated movie of the year is Athena. Others on my list are Watcher, Significant Other, Decision to leave, Cha Cha Real Smooth, The Greatest Beer Run Ever, and Entergalatic. Great list you listed movies I've haven't seen!

Underrated/underseen by genre: Horror: You Won’t Be Alone (Macedonia) Fantasy: 3000 Years of Longing Drama: Happening (France) Historical: 13 Lives Comedy: Paris, 13th District (France) and Cha Cha Real Smooth

Excellent video Marianna. Loved it. That’s an awesome list there. I haven’t actually seen any of these movies yet, but I’ve heard great things about them all, so really excited to check them out.👍

I definitely agree with many of your picks. I'd throw Vengeance. in the conversation. Maybe it's because I'm from Texas, but I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It's like a true crime podcast as a film, that has something to say and it's really funny. And it does a good of poking fun at Texas and true crime podcasts while not looking down on them.

I watched fresh, decision to leave, fire of love , resurrection and the outfit and omg they are all soooo good thanks for sharing.

While I wasn't the biggest fan of the animation style. I did really enjoy Apollo 10 1⁄2: A Space Age Childhood & I'm glad more and more people are finding out about it.

I don't watch a ton of films so I always appreciate your lists to help me find the best ones. I've had Fresh & Weird on my radar... I'll see if I can track them down

I am Spanish and one of the best movies we had this year is As Bestas. It's just an amazing thriller drama set in a small village in Galicia, that shows us an intense duel between neighbours. I won't tell anymore. You have to watch it. Such a fantastic film you don't know because it's Spanish and not internationally promoted.

Fantastic list

Weird is definitely an underrated movie and an artist biopic that represents the artist's body of work so perfectly.

How about best international movie list 2022? You're great, thanks

Nice segment... very analytical. Any chance you could review my film AURORA 663?

I trust your opinion . I will check them out. Ive seen a few on your list and agree that they belong on your list.

* notification pops up* = I'm literally running to watch, hit the like and share. Loooove this channel

1) All Quiet on the Western Front - Points for Score, Costumes & immersive Play 2) X (by Ti West) - Points for Idea, Setting, Look 3) The Sea Beast - Points for a perfect feel-good-movie

What Camera You Use and Mic ??

Well, I have some catching up to do. Haha. Will you talk about House of the Dragon before the year ends?

I just discovered Apollo 10 1/2 and absolutely loved it!

... I massively dug the outfit. Do you have suggestions of other movies like it? I mean a play-like thriller ...

I recently watched The Fire Within by Werner Herzog. It's based on the same couple. It was on BBC4 a couple of months ago. I don't know what the differences are but it was a fantastic watch.

I like your description of Apollo 10.5. but while you liked it, I loved it. It reminded me of Liquorice Pizza in that it put me in a particular american place about 50 years ago, except that it really worked, whereas LP kind of worked.

Thank you, saw 4 out of the 10. Definitely going to watch the 6 I didn’t watch.🎉

There is also the documentary by Werner Herzog, "into the inferno" where he mentions the story of the couple of volcanologists

I watched Apollo 10 1/2 with my dad, it was a great experience because he was living his nostalgia lol.

I love Rahul Kohli! I’ll definitely give Next Exit a watch.

Cant wait for your fav movies of 2022 Love your taste ❤

Not knowing it was a videotape, was honestly the one that makes Aftersun works for me. The twist at the end is the magic of the cinema i've been longing for so long

I love that Julianne Nicholson gave birth to both Weird Al and Marilyn Monroe in the same year! I love Resurrection, Weird, and The Outfit! Still need to catch up on your other picks :) Here are mine: All My Friends Hate Me - Ruben Ostlund-esque dark comedy verging on horror that uses awkwardness and social anxiety to cringe the viewer into submission. Confess, Fletch - The funniest film of the year that got unfortunately shit-canned by its distributor. Jon Hamm proves to be a perfect Chevy Chase substitute and I would be fine if he only played comedic roles going forward. Emily the Criminal - A modern day Dog Day Afternoon; that is, a socially minded crime thriller featuring Aubrey Plaza's best performance. Hatching - A Finnish coming of age body horror with extraordinary monster effects and a surprisingly humane, empathetic point of view. Inu-Oh - A visually dazzling Japanese anime that is a medieval, fantasy, buddy comedy, serial killer rock musical. Need I say more? On the Count of Three - A pitch perfect dark comedy about suicide featuring razor sharp writing and an incredible central duo of writer/director Jerrod Carmichael and Christopher Abbott Rothaniel - (honorable mention because it's a special and not a film) - Jerrod Carmichael's heart wrenching sit-down stand-up comedy special. It's far more emotional and complex than you'd expect from a stand up special, while still being hilarious, and it's directed spectacularly by Bo Burnham Soft & Quiet - The MOST disturbing film I've seen this year. A day-in-the-life style film following a white supremacist who, at first, keeps those beliefs close to her chest, while appearing on the surface like an everyday wine mom. It's also shot and edited to appear as one continuous take; one from which you cannot escape. The Wonder - Probably on my top 10 if I'm being honest. An ethereal, weird, hypnotic story about faith, fanaticism, science, and storytelling. While the trailer shows you a period piece, the actual film quickly tears down the curtain in a surprising way; one that changes how you view the film and how you interpret the events as they unfold onscreen.

You Won't Be Alone was fucking nice. I'll check out some of the other ones I didn't know. Thanks!

i loved The Outfit!

I will definitely die on Babylon hill with you. No Northman? No Whale? Banshees was too little everywhere , all at once and Everything all at once turns out to be too much. :). Nice list overall. PS - If you have X on the list, you need Pearl too!

Resurrection...very very good!

Marianna returns at the turning of the tide! Alas there are films that haven't made here yet. But from this remove I'd have to say, In hierarchical order these. 2022 was a fair year. I think we can agree that the last stellar year was 2019. But here's to 2023. And peace in Ukraine. შობას გილოცავთ! The Northman Everything Everywhere All At Once Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio X Mad God The Batman Top Gun: Maverick The Menu Bones and All Fall Elvis MIA till 2023: Barbarian, Smile, Glass Onion, TÁR, etc.

I will watch all of these in the next 30 days, I knew about some of them, but they all seem amazing

Have you seen 'Speak No Evil' ????? OMG that movie was insane ! great horror film that came out this year! it should definitely be on your list! E

For me the most underappreciated movies of 2022 are : thirteen lives Speak no evil Deadstream I love my dad Rogue agent A thursday Raymond and ray

Marcel the Shell With Shoes On and Laal Singh Chaddha for me!

Yes to The Outfit! This is a tiny treasure I wish had gotten more attention....

Athena deserves to be talked about more. Easily some of the most impressively shot sequences I’ve ever seen.

You won't be alone sounds similar to the anime/manga "To Your Eternity "

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is so funny and underrated

a hot take, this list underrates Aftersun

I just watched and enjoyed a little movie called Save Yourselves! Kind of different but enjoyable.

Man, can't wait til i see Decision to Leave

Great list. So many great under the radar films, you have pointed out here. My fav was 'Apollo 10 1/2' Rebecca hall was incredible in 'Resurrection', especially her long monologue (oner) shows how an underrated actor she is. I'd also add 'To Leslie' to this list, Andrea Riseborough's acting deserves an Oscar nom. She's a force in that movie.

Did you watch braking bad and better call saul ? Masterpieces 👌

You won't be alone is one of the best film that i've seen in 2022. It's slow but very clever. A must !

Thirteen Lives for me. I think it deserves nominations for best picture and director by the Academy.

All 10 Movies listed hurt my Testicles

I think the "c" in Macedonia is sounded like a "k". Its very super important.

Bullet Train is probably the most underrated of the year for me. Because truly, I don’t think people are giving it the credit it deserves.

I liked Fall, where they climb the tower. I know absolutely no one talked about.

The Outfit is great. Very underrated film

Fresh should've gotten similar love as Pearl and barbarian

When is Rebecca Hall going to get her due in the popular culture.

Two more underrated movies of 2022: Broker - Another good korean movie with an interesting plot EO - A sweet little movie where the main character is a donkey

Marianna Neal Thanks Much !

Great list! thanks for the video. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Top underrated movies. 1. The Quiet Girl 2. Aftersun 3. EO 4. Decision to Leave 5. Living 6. Bones & All 7. Holy Spider 8. The Eight Mountains 9. This Much I Know To Be True 10. La nuit du 12 11. Girl Picture 12. Sick of Myself 13. Speak No Evil 14. So Damn Easy Going 15. You Won't Be Alone 16. Novembre 17. Hunt 18. En Corps 19. Emily 20. Klondike

I hope being on the underrated list doesn't disqualify a movie from getting on the top 10 list. Some of these movies definitely deserve a spot in the top 10 if not the top 5 - namely, Decision to Leave and Aftersun. On the other hand, I didn;t think Next Exit was very good.

Loved your list! I had a few of the same ones on mine, plus I learned about a few other interesting titles I need to look into. Here’s my list of the most underrated films of 2022: (Chronological order) AFTER YANG - A24, Colin Farrel, must see! PETITE MAMAN - Celine Sciamma, quiet and heartfelt THE NORTHMAN - ultimately didn’t get the attention it deserved IMO THE BLACK PHONE - I think it got overshadowed by Barbarian and Smile VENGEANCE - BJ Novak’s thriller deserved more attention EMILY THE CRIMINAL - Aubrey Plaza was fantastic in this film! DECISION TO LEAVE - Two words, Tang Wei 😍👏 APOLLO 10 1/2 - Linklater nails childhood of that era, so good! Netflix needs to start going theatrical
