Strongest Impressions of 2011

Jeffrey Overstreet has been our guide for film viewing for the last several years. We’ve always found his reviews to be insightful, and he’s certainly led us into a deeper appreciation for the poetic and artistic character of good film. A great place to start is with his yearly top ten lists. Here are his lists for 1980-2010. He recently released his lists for 2011, in two parts:

Strongest Impressions of 2011, Part 1

Strongest Impressions of 2011, Part 2

I should also mention that Overstreet is a talented novelist. His books are all worth reading.

While not as canonical for us as his film reviews, his list of top albums for 2011 was just published as well.
