I saw 120 new releases in 2017 either in theaters or at home. As a result, I don’t have any predominant blindspots to note. However, I do want to mention my honorable mention: mother!

Watching "mother!" was like watching mud get tracked in after mopping the floor. It was like working your booty off on a project at work and then having to turn it over to someone else to pick apart and do differently. It was like the twinge of frustration you feel when you just want to have a private conversation with someone you love and people won't leave you alone to finish your thought. Oh and did I mention, I dig this movie? Jennifer Lawrence also happens to give the best performance of her career in it.

​Ok. Now, with that out of the way, click below to see my Top 10 films of 2017.

Next Best Picture presents a special Slamdance edition of the Podcast. We interviewed Michael Gallagher, Director of "Funny Story," along with cast members Matthew Glave, Emily Rickards, and Jana Winternitz.

"Funny Story" revolves around a washed up TV Star who attempts to make amends with his estranged daughter by coming to visit her and her friends for a weekend, and instead ends up ruining her life. The film was the Runner Up for the Slamdance "Beyond" Series Audience Award.
