Drama Movies of 2024
![American Fiction](https://michaelsmoviemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/AmericanFiction.jpg)
American Fiction (2024.6, Engaging , Savvy )
American Fiction is about racial stereotyping cast as a delicious comedy and moving drama. It is also, I think, a story about its own creation. (4*)
![Anatomy of a Fall](https://michaelsmoviemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Anatomy.jpg)
Anatomy of a Fall (2024.5, Puzzling , Murder ?)
An accident? A suicide? Or was it murder? Anatomy of a Fall will keep you oscillating between the possibilities even past the end. (4*)
![Io Capitano](https://michaelsmoviemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_2567-768x1152.jpeg)
Io Capitano (2024.17, Not Good , Lost )
Io Capitano is a harrowing tale of two teenage boys, attempting to immigrate to Italy from Senegal. While the story had promise, the movie lacks purpose and fails to define a consistent tone. (2*)
![Maestro](https://michaelsmoviemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/maestro.jpg)
Maestro (2024.2, Powerful , Solid )
Maestro is a well told story of a romance between two individuals over decades and how it developed in the shadow of fame. (4.5*)
![Nimona](https://michaelsmoviemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/IMG_2501-768x768.jpeg)
Nimona (2024.13, Good , Little-Known )
Nimona may not be the best in animation, but it tells an important message about gender identity. (3.5*)
![Nyad](https://michaelsmoviemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/IMG_2369-768x1075.jpeg)
Nyad (2024.3, Disappointing , Tank )
Despite great acting by Bening and Foster, Nyad fails to develop sympathetic characters and an interesting story. (3*)
![Oppenheimer](https://michaelsmoviemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Oppenheimer.jpg)
Oppenheimer (2024.11, Astonishing , Full )
Oppenheimer is an epic film that rewards the hard work required of the viewer. A full exploration of a man, physics, politics, and movie making. (5*)
![Past Lives](https://michaelsmoviemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/PastLives.jpg)
Past Lives (2024.7, Simple, Love)
Past LIves tells the story of three characters in a whirlwind of fond memories, painful regrets, and doubts of self-worth. A simple and tightly emotional story, but not one you will long remember (3.5*)
![Perfect Days](https://michaelsmoviemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_2570-768x1024.jpeg)
Perfect Days (2024.16, Graceful , Simple )
Perfect Days will appeal to older generations who look for simpler, easier times and marvel in the way light filters through tree tops (komorebi) (4*)
![Poor Things](https://michaelsmoviemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/PoorThings.jpg)
Poor Things (2024.10, Beautiful , Sex )
Poor Things, the story of a baby’s mind in an adult woman’s body, is probably the most bizarre movie I’ve ever seen. It is also one of the best. (5*)
![Society of the Snow](https://michaelsmoviemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_2568-768x1076.jpeg)
Society of the Snow (2024.15, Uncomfortable , Value )
Society of the Snow is a very difficult film to watch, but it is probably an essential one. It effectively makes you ask what you would do when faced with these choices. (4.5*)
![The Holdovers](https://michaelsmoviemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/holdovers.jpg)
The Holdovers (2024.8, Fine , Funny)
In The Holdovers, three people, rife with their own problems, spend Christmas break, 1970, with each other. It is funny and emotional. And it’s a Christmas Movie. (3.5*)
![The Zone of Interest](https://michaelsmoviemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/ZoneOfInterest.jpg)
The Zone of Interest (2024.9, Disturbing , Truth )
The Zone of Interest is more than just a story of evil. But the film’s best characteristics are damaged by extraneous scenes. (3.5*)
