THE 128 BEST MOVIES WRITTEN BY WOMEN
THE BEST MOVIES OF 2021, RANKED BY TOMATOMETER
Rotten Tomatoes is collecting every new Certified Fresh movie into one list, creating our guide to the best movies of 2021. Among them you’ll find blockbusters (Shang-Chi), documentaries (Lily Topples the World), awards contenders (The Green Knight), the cutting-edge in horror (The Night House). Movies achieve Certified Fresh status by maintaining a steady Tomatometer score of at least 75% after a minimum number of reviews, with that number depending on how the movie was released. For wide releases (of which there were significantly fewer this year, as you can imagine), the minimum number of reviews is 80. For streaming or limited release movies, that number is 40. And finally, it’s 20 reviews for movies premiering on television. Across all release types, each movie needs at least five of its reviews to be published by Top Critics. Once a movie goes Certified Fresh, the only way to lose it is by dropping below 70%. After the world-altering year of 2020, critics and audiences and studio heads alike are navigating 2021 with its evolving distribution models and industry standards. So far, streaming continues to deliver the goods straight to the people while theaters have now reopened in earnest, and are delivering some big hits (Free Guy, Black Widow, and yes, Shang-Chi). Read on for the best movies of 2021, ranked by Tomatometer, and check back often as we update the list! Newly added: The Delivered, The Woman Who Ran, Baby, Done, El Planeta, Azor, West Side Story, Acasă, My Home, Us Kids, High Ground, The Hand of God, Licorice Pizza, Benedetta, Red Rocket.
