Kuala Lampur, Dec. 30 -- Despite not managing to perform my usual annual ritual of attending the Singapore International Film Festival, which means I'll probably need to wait till next year to catch such highly anticipated films (for me, at least) like Lisandro Alonso's Eureka, Aki Kaurismaki's Fallen Leaves or even Jonathan Glazer's The Zone Of Interest and Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things, there were still so many films I saw and loved in 2023.

From mainstream hits to arthouse and genre offerings, even after fitting in another 10 films as honourable mentions at the bottom of this piece, I still couldn't find room to fit in quite a few more films that I loved this year. So, in the spirit of sharing, here are my favourite films of 2023.
