Soooo...Here are your results of The Composite Telluride for 2022. Ten films made both The Peoples Telluride list and The Professionals Telluride list. The respective rankings for each film are included to the right in [brackets] with the Pro's rating on the left and the People's on the right:
1) TAR 8.13 [1-2]
2) Women Talking 8.09 [2-1]
3) The Wonder 7.52 [5-4]
4) One Fine Morning 7.50 [6-4]
5) Armageddon Time 7.35 [3-9]
6) Aftersun 7.26 [7-8]
7) Bones and All 7.25 [8-6]
8) Empire of Light 7.11 [4-12]
9) Lady Chatterley's Lover 6.77 [9-13]
10) Living 6.75 [10-7]
Big disconnects between the Pros and the People were Armageddon Time and Empire of Light which were significantly favored by the Pros over where the People rated them and Lady Chatterley's Lover and Living which had an substantial lead in the People's poll compared to where the Pros had them.
If you're talking the Best Picture Oscar, ending up in the top spot for The Composite Telluride is a good place to be. Since I started it, The Composite Telluride has pointed to the Best Picture winners in seven out of nine years missing for 2019 because Green Book won and last year in which CODA won.
That said, I find it unlikely that TAR wins Best Picture this year. To my mind, the TFF #49 film with the most potential for winning BP is Sarah Polley's Women Talking and even that seems, at this point, a long shot. I'll have my first stab at making Oscar predictions for Picture, Directing and Acting categories up on MTFB in Monday's post.
After TFF #49 The Composite All Time Top Ten did not change and remains as follows:
1) 12 Years a Slave (9.25) 2013 Tie (Won Best Picture)
1) Argo (9.25) 2012 Tie (Won Best Picture)
3) Roma (9.20) 2018 (Won Best Foreign Language Film)
4) Moonlight (9.19) 2016 (Won Best Picture)
5) Birdman (9.18) 2014 (Won Best Picture)
6) Parasite (9.11) 2019 (Won Best Picture)
7) Stories We Tell (9.10) 2012
8) Tim's Vermeer (8.97) 2013
9) The Power of the Dog (8.95) 2021 (Nominated Best Picture)
10) The Two Popes (8.93) 2019
INDIEWIRE'S BEST OF THE FESTS
The crew at Indiewire put together a list of what they evaluate as the best films to have played the triumvirate of film fests just concluded (Telluride, Venice and Toronto). It was posted last Monday. TFF #49 films that made the list of 15 included
All the Beauty and the Bloodshed
Bones and All
Women Talking

Sr.
TAR
VARIETY'S BEST OF THE FESTS
Variety also posted a list of the 17 films that their staff have chosen as the best of the three fests. The list includes three films that played at Telluride: TAR, All the Beauty and the Bloodshed and Women Talking.
METACRITIC AND TFF #49 FILMS
Similar to the above post from Indiewire, Metacritic posted an article on Sunday that included their collective critical rating for many films that have played Telluride, Venice and/or Toronto. I took the liberty of adding to their list three films that played in Cannes in May that were also programmed by Telluride a few weeks back.
Here's where the TFF #49 films landed according to Metacrtic:
TAR-92
Aftersun-91
Icarus: The Aftermath-89
All the Beauty and the Bloodhsed-88
Close-83
Women Talking-80
Squaring the Circle-77
Bones and All-76
A Compassionate Spy-75
Armageddon Time-74
The Wonder-72
Lady Chatterley's Lover 67
Theater of Thought-64
Good Night Oppy-63
Empire of Light-59
Bardo-51
TAR leads all films listed with its 92. See the rest of what Metacritic has included from the other two fests that did not play at TFF #49 including The Fabelmans, The Son, The Whale and Blonde linked here.
THEATER OF THOUGHT TRAILER
We found out earlier this week that a trailer has been released for Werner Herzog's latest documentary. The film is described at IMDB as follows:
"Werner Herzog sets his sights on yet another mysterious landscape - the human brain - for clues as to why a hunk of tissue can produce profound thoughts and feelings while considering the philosophical, ethical, and social implications of fast-advancing neural technology."
Here's the trailer form YouTube:
