Peneflix MOVIE REVIEWS BY PENEFLIX
2023 was a spectacular, banner year for films. Never have I given so many Five Star credits, or rarely have I visited movies more than once; 2023’s products were more than worthy of multiple exposures. Without listing all the choices in each category, I will gift you, faithful readers, my number one picks in the myriad of classifications:
BEST PICTURE: OPPENHEIMER (By far one of the finest films ever made.)
BEST DIRECTOR: CHRISTOPHER NOLAN (OPPENHEIMER)
BEST ACTOR: CILLIAN MURPHY (OPPENHEIMER).
BEST ACTRESS: CAREY MULLIGAN (MAESTRO). Although Emma Stone (POOR THINGS) is the likely winner.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: DA’VINE JOY RANDOLPH (THE HOLDOVERS)
