Ebert’s Best of the Decade

1. Synecdoche, New York (2008)
2. The Hurt Locker (2009)¬† “Apart from this psychological process, Katherine Bigelow’s film has a masterful command of editing, tempo, character and photography. Using no stunts and CGI, she creates a convincing portrayal of the conditions a man like James faces. She builds with classical tools. She evokes suspense, dread, identification. She asks if a man like James requires such a fearsome job. The film is a triumph of theme and execution, and very nearly flawless.”
3. Monster (2004)
4. Juno (2007)
5. Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005)
6. Chop Shop (2008)
7. The Son (2002)
