Reel Dialogue's top films, family films and The Watchlists of 2023

As we came to the end of the tumultuous year at the cinema, the struggle to define the year's best films was more complicated than expected. Between the actors/writers strike, the challenges at Marvel and Disney, plus the COVID hangover remaining, this was a challenging list to put together.

Yet, some of the highlights occurred in the arthouse atmosphere, and we were thrilled to introduce The Watchlist podcast this year. Here we go; Reel Dialogue will interject the most popular podcasts and our favourite films.

Click on the links for the reviews, look these great films up on your streaming service and enjoy some of 2023's best films.
