My Top-10 Films of 2023

My love for film began in 2017, at the ripe and susceptible age of fourteen. By 2018, I had fallen head-over-heels into the world of film, and was devouring one on a daily basis. By 2019, I was fluent in the language of cinema. I knew its history, the landmarks, and individual components. 

Those formative years in high school was a magical era, with a new, life-shattering experience around every corner. Nowadays, my ability to consume films at such an alarming rate has dwindled significantly. Because of that, the moments of magic in cinema are finding me less and less. That isn't to say my life is devoid of them, just fewer. Regardless, the year of 2023 had its moments of magic, and I'm grateful I was lucky enough to be in them. That said, here are my top-10 films of the year:
