Boston, Kansas City, Phoenix, St. Louis e Utah, ecco i migliori film del 2018

Weekend ricco di premiazioni, quello appena andato in scena, perché i circoli critici di Boston, Kansas City, Phoenix, St. Louis e Utah hanno annunciato i loro vincitori di un 2018 ormai arrivato agli sgoccioli, seguendo quanto fatto le scorse settimane dai circoli di New York e Los Angeles.

Trionfi sorprendenti, perché spesso assai differenti. Per i critici di Boston On Line ha vinto quasi tutto You Were Never Really Here di Lynne Ramsay, dove Roma di Cuaron si è ‘dovuto’ accontentare del premio come miglior film straniero e miglior fotografia, mentre a Kansas City proprio la pellicola messicana l’ha fatta da padrona, dividendosi il riconoscimento più ambito con La Favorita. A Phoenix è stato proprio quest’ultimo, il film di Yorgos Lanthimos, a battere la concorrenza, mentre a St. Louis hanno sparigliato le carte incoronando A Star is Born di Bradley Cooper, con Spike Lee miglior regista. Tornando a Boston, ma in casa Boston Society of Film Critics, è stato Se la strada potesse parlare a far suo il riconoscimento come miglior film, battendo Un affare di famiglia.

Ma è dallo Utah che è arrivato il vero colpo di scena, perché Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, eletto miglior lungometraggio animato di stagione in tutti gli altri circoli (Boston Society escluso, dove ha vinto l’Isola dei Cani), ha conquistato lo scettro di miglior film del 2018. Battuto Roma di Cuaron in volata, anche al termine di questo fine settimana di premi tra i più presenti.
