Biggest disappointment on my screens in 2020: GOOD LORD BIRD. Was looking forward to the great acting but the script (and some of its direction) sucked. Who decided it would be a good idea to portray Frederick Douglas as a hypocritical, shallow buffoon, and to use Harriet Tubman as a prop for a fictional character's storyline? ...ack.
Most pleasant surprise on my screens in 2020: THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT. It was the most perfectly executed movie/series of the year for me, though not all my friends experienced it that way. I did.
And some runner-up favorites of 2020:
MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM
GIVING VOICE
TRANSHOOD
LOVECRAFT COUNTRY
MAE WEST: DIRTY BLONDE
THE GENTLEMEN
WE'RE HERE
MY BRILLIANT FRIEND
KNIVES OUT
And one other disappointment:
THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7
