The year 2018 was a terrible one for me professionally, and with more than a few setbacks personally, too. Politically it was a smoking crater. Cinematically it was somewhat above average. I found myself often at odds with other critics this year, particularly my friends and comrades in the Indiana Film Journalists Association. Things that blew them away I found mildly amusing ("Paddington 2") or borderline unwatchable ("Roma"). Movies I loved were greeted with ambivalence or outright hostility by other critics.
