Films of 2022
2022 was the least existentially heavy year of its era.
Across 450 well-known films, 2022 reads lower on existential weight than the decade around it — 46.9 against 48.5, a gap of 1.6. Every year is measured against its own era rather than against all of cinema, because a slow trend is not a year’s signature.
