Las mejores películas de 2019 (hasta ahora)
Última actualización 12/9/19 con Aguas oscuras , Retrato de una dama en llamas , La cueva , En tela
Todas las películas de esta guía están certificadas como frescas, lo que significa un número mínimo de críticos aprobados (40 para lanzamientos limitados, 80 para lanzamientos panorámicos), lo vieron, lo revisaron y obtuvieron hasta un 75% en el Tomatómetro. Después de convertirse en Certified Fresh, si una película cae por debajo del 70%, pierde la designación. ¡Quédate arriba y quédate dorado! Además, un estreno teatral concertado es imprescindible para la calificación; transmitieron películas que pudieron haber salido a los cines durante una semana pero sin contar con pantallas verificables independientemente o informes de taquilla para nuestras clasificaciones de TV.
Capitán Marvel , Avengers: Endgame y John Wick: Capítulo 3 – Parabellum fueron las grandes películas para golpear tanto a los críticos como al público, conduciendo a potencias más recientes como Toy Story 4 , Midsommar y Érase una vez en Hollywood . Este último está compitiendo por un serio oro de Oscar, en lo que se está convirtiendo en un campo siempre lleno de gente para la mejor película del año. Estamos hablando de películas recientes que han hecho que el público hable y, lo que es más importante, que lleguen a los cines para presenciar el bombo por sí mismos: Parásito , The Farewell , The Lighthouse , Jojo Rabbit y El irlandés .
Mientras tanto, todavía tenemos Un hermoso día en el vecindario y Knives Out (ya certificado como Fresh gracias al circuito del festival, pero aún no se ha lanzado públicamente), Frozen II (en camino de conseguir que Disney Animation Studios obtenga otro trofeo Certified Fresh), y una pequeña esperanza independiente llamada Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker .
Cada semana actualizaremos esta lista con las mejores y más populares películas que terminan en 2019. Así que continúa descubriendo películas de calidad aprobadas por los críticos y recuerda las que quieres ver, con nuestra lista de las mejores ¡películas de 2019 hasta ahora!
