Stu's favourite films for 2018

Only 115 trips to the cinema this year, so sadly a few things have slipped through the cracks. These choices really have nothing to say about the quality of the art, they’re merely the ones which haunted me the longest well after seeing them.

For those films that straddle 2017/2018 I tend to not include them, as they’ve been caught by 2017 best of lists.

Overall, it was a pretty solid year at the movies. With great trepidation here are my favourites, honourable mentions and least favourite of 2018.
