The best movie of the 2010's

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2019)

As the decade rolls to a close I have been thinking about what was the greatest movie of the last 10 years. I remember movies like "Boyhood" or "Whiplash" or "Roma" or "Social Network" but in the end I can't stop thinking about INSIDE OUT, the crowning achievement of Pixar (a high bar considering they also made Wall-E). It's a beautiful story in the most simple ways, but tackles ideas that are so complex and intertwined that I'm amazed the filmmakers were able to so perfectly find a balance. It's Pixar's most heartbreaking (Bing-Bong, the climax with Sadness...) and probably their most universally relatable. I remember seeing the trailer and thinking this looked like the next total miss for the company... How wrong I was. This movie is a masterpiece.
