National Society of Film Critics Choose 'The Rider' As Best of 2018

So here it is, the last of the four major critics groups picked The Rider for Best Picture this afternoon, followed by Roma and Burning in second and third place. That’s an interesting choice. I guess to need to see this movie, huh? (It was also on Obama’s best movie list, so I think I’ll have to weigh in on it). I also love the nods here to The Death of Stalin in screenplay and Steven Yeun, who really is great in Burning.
