20 Best Movies Of 2020

20. Da 5 Bloods

Spike Lee's unforgettable, unconventional war film may have been rough around the edges and perhaps a touch too long, but it was also a deeply visceral, upsetting film about institutional racism, trauma, and seemingly never-ending cycles of violence.

Delroy Lindo's performance as PTSD-afflicted war vet Paul is the easy standout here, but the entire ensemble cast is spectacular, enough that even when Da 5 Bloods sees Lee at his most excessive and over-reaching, it's still an eminently enthralling picture.

Though certainly not as varnished or "crowd-pleasing" as something like BlacKkKlansman, this is nothing if not a film that perfectly captured the present moment, releasing mere weeks after the death of George Floyd as it did.
