THE BEST FILMS OF 2020
Wolfwalkers
Wolfwalkers is Tomm Moore’s most delightful animation. Its brave heroine is Robyn, the daughter of an English huntsman stationed in Ireland in the mid-1600s. He has the job of clearing the wolves from a forest near Kilkenny, but when Robyn goes exploring, she finds that one of those wolves can transform into a human girl. The girls' battles against destructive adults are exciting and fun, and every frame is a work of art.
Ammonite
Mary Anning, whose 19th-Century discoveries of fossils transformed palaeontology, although the credit went to men. Writer and director Francis Lee's romance finds Mary in middle age, scraping together a living in the seaside town of Lyme Regis.
The Personal History of David Copperfield
This joyous and endlessly inventive film by Armando Iannucci is a brilliant achievement that raises the expectation for Charles Dickens adaptations. And while Iannucci roots it firmly in the poverty and class system of Victorian England. BBC Culture’s review called it “a warm and lively David Copperfield for today”.
The Assistant
Structured as a day in the life, The Assistant stars Julia Garner as the lowly new employee who toils from before dawn until after dusk, answering phones, printing out scripts, unpacking bottles of water: imagine a more authentic, low-key companion piece to The Devil Wears Prada. The film looks beyond one man to focus on a wider corporate culture.
