Now, in less than a month, 2021 will be a thing of the past.
Looking back at the movies released this year, it seems that there are not many works that have been highly praised by the audience.
The only impressive ones are those movies that have won high box office.
Movies that can get high box office are not necessarily good works, and there may not be many audiences who have seen good works.
Recently, the National Critics Association of the United States selected the best film of 2021.
There are nine best films in 2021, most of which have never been seen.
