(Rent it now on the platform of complacent white liberals, iTunes.) If skewering white conservatives is more your deal, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri has the kind of low-stakes, foul-mouthed dialogue voters love, and terrific acting from Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell to back it up, too. Jordan Peele's script and direction bring together scares, laughs, and no small amount of uncomfortable side-eyes aimed at complacent white liberals. Anderson’s Phantom Thread isn't out until Christmas, and Steven Spielberg's The Post won't even see wide release until January.) But there's plenty to catch in theaters right now, if you want to get ahead on surefire Best Picture nominees.įirst, there's Get Out, an ode to both throwback horror and the all-too-modern insidiousness of relaxed racism-a near-lock for all the major awards, which is no small feat for such an unabashed genre movie.
The funny thing about a "Best of 2017" list is that most of the year's strongest movies come out at the end of 2017, with hopes of being celebrated in 2018.
