I would like to see Debut Film added to the Oscars – if only because I think it would be a great way to give a leg up to new voices in cinema. This year, we saw any number of fine debut films – and, of course, some not so great debuts. So below, I start with the worst, and move to the best. Just a quick word – I typically don’t include docs here – and won’t count a doc made as a debut for a fiction filmmaker (the only time it’s confusing is with someone like Casey Affleck who made I’m Still Here, which is kind of a doc, but kind of not. But otherwise, it’s pretty simple.
In terms of just down right bad debuts there was: Dark Phoenix (Simon Kinberg) the longtime screenwriter who stepped into the director’s chair, only to kill X-Men at Fox forever with the worst film in this series by far. Greener Grass (Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe) is a film I admire since the directors surely stuck to their “vision” – but boy did I not like said vision. The Kitchen (Andrea Berloff) is a fine screenwriter – and I like to think there is a 4-hour version of this movie that makes sense, but in what we did see, it’s pretty damn bad. Lucy in the Sky (Noah Hawley) proved that being a great TV showrunner (Fargo, Legion) doesn’t mean you’ll make a great film the first time out.
For debuts that aren’t great, but show at least some promise there was: Gwen (William McGregor) which was a horror film, long on atmosphere and short on anything else. The Parts You Lose (Christopher Cantwell) is a chilly thriller, with some good performances and atmosphere, that never quite goes anywhere. Possum (Matthew Holness) looks quite good, but the story goes absolutely nowhere. State Like Sleep (Meredith Danluck) has a couple of fine performances by Katherine Waterson and Michael Shannon, and a good, dreamlike look – but has a story that goes nowhere. Teen Spirit (Max Minghella) feels like a fairly mediocre debut from 2003 – elevated by a couple of great musical numbers, and a good performance by Elle Fanning.
Always Be My Maybe (Nahnatchka Khan) is a charming, if forgettable romantic comedy that coasts along on some wonderful performances. Between Two Ferns: The Movie (Scott Auckerman) is very funny, but very thin – but precisely the film it wants to be. Brittany Runs a Marathon (Paul Down Colazzio) is a charming and inspirational comedy – with a little more to it as well. The Changeover (Miranda Harcourt & Stuart McKenzie) has the atmosphere of Heavenly Creatures – but a story that doesn’t go that far. Diamantino (Gabriel Abrantes & Daniel Schmidt) is so strange and original that I want to see what they do next – but it really doesn’t come together. I Trapped the Devil (Josh Lobo) shows what Lobo can do on almost no money – I want to see what he can do with more. The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot (Robert D. Krzykowski) is a complete original – but isn’t the off the wall cult film you would think it would be with that name. The Peanut Butter Falcon (Tyler Nilson & Michael Schwartz) is a charming, feel-good film that is impossible to resist, whatever its flaws.
Even better than those were: Annabelle Comes Home (Gary Dauberman) has the horror screenwriter showing that he knows what to do behind the camera to make a fun little film. Body at Brighton Rock (Roxanne Benjamin) shows that Benjamin should make an all-out 1980s homage – here, the visual look is perfect, the content doesn’t quite much.Good Boys (Gene Stupnitsky) shows that maybe mainstream Hollywood comedy can survive, with this charming, sweet, gross, hilarious film. Hagazussa: A Heathen’s Curse (Lukas Feigelfeld) looks great, and expertly builds tension – even its perhaps a little too slow burn of a horror film. The Hole in the Ground (Lee Cronin) is a stylish horror movie, with a great lead performance – but perhaps is a little too on the nose. Hotel Mumbai (Anthony Maras) is incredibly intense and disturbing, even if it leaves a slightly bad aftertaste in your mouth. The Standoff at Sparrow Creek (Henry Dunham) really wants to be a Reservoir Dogs for the militia set – and isn’t quite that, but is still very good.
Finally, some other fine debuts that just didn’t have space in the top 15. A Colony Genevieve Delude-De Celles) is a sensitive, subtle Quebecois coming of age movie, that may bite off more than it can chew, but still shows immense promise. Firecrackers (Jasmin Mozaffari) kind of plays like a Canadian version of an Andrea Arnold film – about two teenage girls in a dead-end town, dreaming of getting out. Ladyworld (Amanda Kramer) was an odd little film, part Sofia Coppola, part genre, and all strange – but I look forward to seeing what Kramer does next. I’m not sure if Light of My Life (Casey Affleck) should count, since his previous film – I’m Still Here – was only kind of a documentary – but either way, it is a strong debut for the actor turned director. The Mustang (Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre) is a good character study of a damaged man getting better in prison through the help of a prison horse program. Queen & Slim (Melina Matsoukas) looked amazing – but had some storytelling issues, etc. – that makes me cannot wait to see what Matsoukas does next, without quite loving the film she made first. Them That Follow (Britt Poulton & Dan Madison Savage) is an interesting, sympathetic drama about a fundamentalist Christian sect – and a young woman struggling with her faith. Tigers Are Not Afraid (Issa Lopez) has some great horror movie moments in it, and is an ambitious mix of horror and social commentary, even if it doesn’t quite come together.
15. Little Woods (Nia DaCosta)
Part modern noir, part modern Western, Nia DaCosta’s Little Woods is an acting showcase for Tessa Thompson and Lily James, playing half-sisters struggling to get by in rural America at the height of the opioid epidemic, one of whom decides to get back into dealing to get ahead – it’s the only way to survive. The performances are great – Thompson in particular is wonderful – and the film looks great – a dull grey hangs over the winter settings, which extends to the lives of the characters as well. I kind of kept waiting for the film to do something unexpected, and it never quite does – but it’s a fine little genre film – and shows DaCosta’s very obvious talent – making it very obvious why Jordan Peele tapped her to direct the Candyman remake.
14. Braid (Mitzi Peirone)
As a film, I’m not quite sure that Braid is as good as some of the films below – but as a filmmaker, I cannot wait to see what Mitzi Peirone does next, because Braid is such a strange, unique film. It’s about two women on the run from the law, who go to the large, if dilapidated, house of an old friend – another woman – and the strange games that the trio play with each, eventually drawing in a male detective who finds them there. The film is heavily inspired by David Lynch – and Peirone gets a lot of stuff right about her what makes Lynch such a brilliant filmmaker, but she doesn’t quite manage to make you love the characters as well. If she figures that out, she’ll make a masterpiece. As it stands, Braid is an odd experiment from a very promising filmmaker.
13. Burning Cane (Phillip Youmans)
Philip Youmans was only 19 when he wrote and directed this film. Set in the deep South, the film is about the cycles of abuse and alcoholism that plague the small, African American church going community. Wendell Pierce is typically great as the local preacher – a flawed man, who becomes more so when his wife died. But the main character is probably Helen Wayne (Karen Kaia Livers) – one of Pierce’s flock – who struggles with her own son, now an adult, now an alcoholic, and raising his own son in a bad way, and not treating his wife well. You can tell that Youmans is a little young – the ending is designed to shock, and doesn’t really work – but you can also tell that he has a better eye for camera placement and pacing than most directors twice his age do. This is a promising film, that draws from a lot of inspirations, but is completely its own thing.
12. Luz (Tilman Singer)
Tilman Singer’s Luz marks him as one of the most promising filmmakers in horror coming up. At just over an hour, the film is basically a three act film with an absolutely stunning first third, cutting back and forth between a strange conversation in bar, and a woman going into a police station. The film never quite reaches that level again, but the second act is a rather daring stylistic choice, and it all leads to a haunting conclusion. Singer isn’t afraid to take chances throughout the film – and they all pay off. He clearly didn’t have much money, but what he is able to pull off is stunning. The total is probably less than the sum of its parts – but rest assured, whatever Singer does next, I cannot wait to see what he does.
11. A Vigilante (Sarah Daggar-Nickson)
Sarah Daggar-Nickson’s A Vigilante came and went very quickly – seemingly few saw it, and those who did, underrated it. But it was a powerful film about domestic abuse and PTSD, and featured a great performance by Olivia Wilde as a woman who has escaped an abusive marriage, and now has extremes ways to help others do the same. As the film progresses, you find out more about what happened, and why she is so wounded – and you know there will be a confrontation with her ex. It is a wonderful film – showing the two sides of Wilde’s character, who is a mess when she is by herself, but puts on a mask of confidence when she heads out into the world. Wilde certainly got credit for proving she is a great director (her film is coming up) – but here, she proved just what a great actress she is as well. And Sarah Daggar-Nickson directed a powerful film at the same time.
10.The Chambermaid (Lila Aviles)
Lila Aviles’ debut film takes place entirely within the walls of a luxury hotel in Mexico – and focuses on a chambermaid, Eve, as she goes about her day-to-day routine. The film never lets her out of that hotel – one day bleeds into the next, into next – as she has to go about her work with dedication and diligence, while also staying out of sight from the guests – who don’t want to see the staff too much. The film is about these workers who many simply look through as if they are not there – and sees its main character clearly. She has such small dreams – but that doesn’t make them hurt any less when they get crushed. A good companion piece to Roma – and perhaps a slightly clearer eyed one.
9. The Wind (Emma Tami)
The Wind is a horror/Western hybrid with a feminist twist. The film is about two couples who live in isolation on the Western plains – a younger couple moves into an abandoned house, and that sparks a descent into jealously and paranoia for the slightly older couple – as both women start to believe that something may be out there on the plains during the dark and windy nights. The film is brilliantly constructed on atmosphere – as the low budget film does a lot with not very much money. The film is spooky and haunting, and twists and turns throughout – making you wonder just who may be the crazy one, and perhaps it’s the isolation, and woman’s place in the world at this point in time, where perhaps going crazy is the only sane thing to do. A great debut for Emma Tammi, who I really want to see continue in this horror movie vein.
8. Starfish (A.T. White)
One of the strangest debuts of the year, A.T. White’s film is about grief and loss with a young woman returning to home to attend the funeral of a friend, ends up staying in her apartment on the night where it just so happens the world ends. The film is spooky and creepy – more horror adjacent than horror itself – but it’s really a film about loss, and the power of music. The film is endlessly inventive – it looks great, and the sound design is among the best I have seen in a low budget film in a long time. White, best known for his music career, should continue to direct films – this is one of those debuts that seems like the entire worldview and style come out in the first film fully formed.
7. Aniara (Pella Kagerman & Hugo Lilja)
What Pella Kagerman and Hugo Lilja doe in their debut film Aniara is quite astounding, considering they didn’t really have a huge budget. The film is about a large space ship – basically the equivalent to a cruise ship – heading to Mars when humanity destroys the world. They are supposed to be out in space for a few months, but they are knocked off course, and end up drifting endlessly through space for years and years after. The film is based on an epic poem from a Nobel Laureate – and I’ve always thought we need more movies based on epic poems – and is really about humanity in a microcosm. Where are, after all, all drifting through space for years on end, trying to find meaning in our lives. The film gets darker and darker as it goes along – and becomes endlessly complex. I wish there was slightly more emotional connection to some of the characters – but when the film does this much, it kind of feels like nitpicking to complain about that as well.
6. Honey Boy (Alma Har’el)
Har’el has made some prize winning docs over the years, but this is her first feature. Teaming up with Shia LaBeouf, who she has worked with over the years, to tell LaBeaouf’s own, very personal story of growing up a child star with an angry, sometimes abusive recovering alcoholic father – and how that led to his own issues. Har’el gets great performances out her cast – Noah Jupe as the young LaBeouf is great, Lucas Hedges is typically greater as the older version – all coiled rage – and LaBeouf himself delivers one of the year’s best performances as a version of his own father. The films visual looks capture both the beauty, and the ugliness of L.A. – from the golden sunsets, to the rundown places where the pair live. A wonderful, heartfelt film – that Har’el elevates from what could have a lot of self-pity.
5. Atlantics (Mati Diop)
Mati Diop’s haunting, beautiful ghost love story is one of the most distinctive debut films of the year. Set in Senegal, the film is a love story between a young woman from a conservative family and the migrant worker who leaves her behind to find Europe – with tragic results. From there, the movie takes some very strange twists and turns – but even with some genre elements, it’s not really a genre film. It is a coming of age film, a love story, a ghost story – and all combined. It is also one of the most stunning beautiful films of the year – with Clare Mathon’s stunning cinematography aiding the movie greatly. Diop won one of the top prizes at Cannes this year – and it was deserved. I cannot wait to see what she does next.
4. Booksmart (Olivia Wilde)
Olivia Wilde’s Booksmart is one of the best comedies of the year – a whip smart tale of high school female friendship in 2019, in ways that it makes complex throughout. It was called a female Superbad – but that isn’t quite right here, in part because the supporting cast is so good and build some nice little characters. It is a subtle portrait of class, a portrait of woke culture and at its heart has wonderful performances by Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein, which is a far more complex and heartfelt portrait of this friendship. As a director, Wilde goes for absolute broke here, channeling Scorsese at times (and not in an obvious, Joker like way) and keeps the film just going at its breakneck pace throughout, taking stylistic chances throughout. Wilde has always been a fine actress – but now I really want to see her next film as a director.
3. Diane (Kent Jones)
The oldest filmmaker on this list, former critic Kent Jones has spent a while directing docs – first with Martin Scorsese, and then by himself, all about famous directors (A Letter to Elia, Hitchcock/Truffaut) before finally making his feature debut. The film stars a remarkable Mary Kay Pace in the title role, one of the great character actresses who has been working for decades now, who never gets a chance for a lead role. At first, Diane seems to be a selfless character – always doing everything for everyone else, visiting people in hospitals, dropping off food for the housebound, never giving up on her drug addicted son, etc. But the film gets more and more complex as it goes along – and you get the sense that she doesn’t do what she does out of selflessness, but out of guilt – and whether or not it matters. It also ends in an understated but profound way. I really hope Jones keeps making films – because Diane is a stunning debut.
2. The Last Black Man in San Francisco (Joe Talbot)
No American directorial debut this year was better, more distinctive than Joe Talbot’s The Last Black Man in San Francisco. It is a story of gentrification – of a young black man who wants nothing more than to get his old family home back from the white people who purchased it – and then when they move out, but it isn’t sold, moves back in on the down low. The film is lyrical and touching, a dreamlike film that addresses very real concerns about modern city living and being black in America when the world is systematically against you. It’s a beautiful and touching film and an announcement of a major new talent in Talbot. Joins the ranks of the best debuts of the decade – and hope for the future of American indie film.
1. An Elephant Sitting Still (Bo Hu)
One of the saddest things in the film world this year is that the single best debut film was made by a filmmaker who will never make another film – as writer/director Bo Hu killed himself after finishing his four hour cut of the film, while he was in the midst of fighting with producers who wanted him to cut the film down to two hours. That wasn’t the only reason – clearly – but a contributing factor. His one and only film is a testament to his talent and his vision – it’s a long film about four interconnected character in an industrial city in Northern China – all going through a horrible day, where they are trapped in their own lives, and the oppressive society. It is a deep film, a dark film – not the easiest city – but a masterful one. It is incredibly sad that we will never see another film by Bo Hu – because the one we got was masterful.
