Best Films of 2020, According to Poll of Over 100 Critics

The strangest cinematic year is about to come to an end. 2020 was filled with stoppages in theatrical releases and the full embracement of VOD and other such streaming platforms. Is it any wonder then that only 5 of the 20 most critically-acclaimed movies of the year were released exclusively in theaters?
Almost 100 critics submitted their picks for the poll. Participants included leading critics from IndieWire, Variety, USA Today, The A.V. Club, Forbes, and Rolling Stone. Critics were asked to submit a list of up to 5-10 films, unranked, with a release date set between January 1st and December 30th, 2020.
Good luck
