2020s - Your 10/10s so far

Nothing yet. I’m pretty stingy with my 10/10s, but the most recent film I gave it to is The Irishman.

Tenet
All Quiet on the Western Front
Babylon
Oppenheimer

Nothing yet. I've got a few 8s though...

First Cow
Red Rocket
TAR
Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Pt. 1

Nothing.

Closest have been Promising Young Woman, Triangle of Sadness and Oppenheimer.

I can probably name you at least 20 filmws that came out within the last four years or so that I consider better than those movies you listed. Film is art, so it's quality lies in the eye of the beholder. What someone considers a masterpiece might be garbage for someone else. It all comes down to their individual perspective. Same with literature that you mention. It's all personal preferance.

None.

The last movie I give a 10/10 to is Parasite, But that's a 2019 release

Got a couple 9/10's in the 2020s (The Northman, Da 5 Bloods, The Tragedy Of Macbeth, Across The Spider-Verse, The Last Duel, Oppenheimer among others....but no 10's yet

Preach. 

I think there is objectivity in movie criticism, but no movie is a "quasi perfect, mindblowing" masterpiece. Even my very favorite pieces of fiction have things that could have been done in different, possibly better ways.

Objectively, if a film succeeds at exploring its themes in an emotionally resonant manner and the movie is faultless on a narrative scale (no plot contradictions, little in the way of coincidence driving the plot*), I think the movie could certainly be considered 10/10 on an objective scale. The Godfather Part II is one example of this. (On a scale of my subjective enjoyment, I place it as a very strong 8/10.)

*Of course, there are movies that openly break these rules and thus cannot be judged by those objective standards. Tokyo Godfathers, one of my favorite movies, is a screwball comedy absolutely driven by absurd coincidences forcing the plot along, and therein lies a great deal of its charm. Mulholldand Dr. was mentioned above, and that movie uses surrealism in a way that makes it impossible to judge on the same objective scale as The Godfather - they're attempting entirely different things.

Furthermore, I could look at Lila Neugebauer's Causeway from 2022 and I feel that I could say that it explores trauma in a realistic and powerful manner by drawing on my own experiences as evidence, but other people who do not have the same experiences as me will just find it dreadfully boring and dry. Ultimately, the subjectivity of each individual person will color a film's quality. Some people think that Aftersun is a fantastically moving film, and there is no way in hell I will ever understand that because there is no way to objectively state that a movie of people looking sad is better than another movie of people looking sad.

I certainly believe objective standards can and should be used to judge art, but only in the most basic of ways: is a movie trying to hold together structurally, does the movie explore its ideas in a way that makes consistent logical sense within the world of the story. It's a launching pad to analyze a film, and once you have established the rules you are operating under, only then can you make any intelligent "objective" criticism of a film's worth.

2019 had two: Portrait of a Lady on Fire and Parasite, but weirdly that was otherwise a really blah year. Nothing for the 2020s and I don't have 10s generally. The Father comes closest (that was a genuine honest-to-god masterpiece with Zeller using cinematic language to do something creative and shocking). Banshees of Inisherin and Power of the Dog are next in line but not perfect 10s.

and yeah, putting people down for having 10/10s is silly, cynical gatekeeping. Some people are still capable of experiencing joy. Not me, but some people.
