We may be nearly a month into 2024, but as many know, January is often a month where movies from the previous year are still coming out.
With the month of January nearly over and many more films from 2023 now watched, several members of the MNFCA published lists, videos and podcasts sharing their thoughts on films from last year. From top 10 lists to honorable mentions, get a full look at what Minnesota Critics thought about film in 2023.
The Minneapolis-St. Paul Film Society recently concluded its annual festival, which ran from April 13-27.
The Society has held the MSP International Film Festival for 42 years. This year’s edition had nearly 200 films from all around the world.
Watching several of the films were members of the Minnesota Film Critics Alliance. Members from the metro area watched festival-shown movies including “Dreamin’ Wild,” “Showing Up” and much more.
To find which films were honored during the festival with awards, click here. The MSP Film Society has also set up a site where audiences can view films with a digital screening. Plus, there will be special encore screenings for select pictures, find the schedule here.
The Minnesota Film Critics Alliance announced their awards late last month, and now it’s the Academy’s turn.

The year 2021 is in the rear-view, but before letting it go, members of the Minnesota Film Critics Alliance had quite a bit to say.
From top 10s to top 20s, MNFCA members ranked their favorite films released in 2021, including plenty of honorable mentions along the way. A few even noted some of the worst 2021 had to offer in cinema.
It was certainly an odd year for movies in 2020, with many release dates getting pushed back across calendars. However, plenty of quality films were still released and they were included on the best of lists by Minnesota Film Critics.
Here’s how the Alliance felt about some of the best (and worst) films released in 2020.
