In the month of September I’ve seen 14 more films from 2024, totaling from 66 films with Oscar eligibility. Two of my Best Picture nominees from last month have been replaced, and I’ve upped the documentaries I’ve seen from 1 to 4. The new movies I watched this month that made the biggest impact seem
