by

Julien Faddoul

5. Jackie – Sebastián Sepúlveda

For juggling many themes and different time-frames all superbly.

4. The Love Witch – Anna Biller

For rhythms that pierce throughout the film’s core as she weaves seamlessly with her stylistic application.

3. La La Land – Tom Cross

For pure infectiousness. Those frustrated by the lack of new aesthetic ideas should be persuaded by the fierce commitment to bygone ones.

2. Sully – Blu Murray

For helping his director create one of the "good ones". It's riveting and taut.

1. OJ: Made in America – Bret Granato, Maya Mumma, Ben Sozanski

For a masterpiece of film editing, the film weaves all these elements together into a gripping, spine-tingling non-fiction thriller without a single wasted second of its imposing runtime.

Julien Faddoul

5. Silence – Dante Ferretti

For those vast yet confining spaces of the time that always feel a little disconcerting.

4. The Love Witch – Anna Biller

For her staggering commitment to detail, whether you notice it or not.

3. Arrival – Patrice Vermette

For some truly iconic imagery, including a first human-to-alien encounter that is visually absorbing.

2. Hail, Caesar! – Jess Gonchor

For mashing together musicals, westerns, film noir and even sophisticated comedies of manners so acutely.

1. Kubo and the Two Strings – Nelson Lowry

For visuals that are unparalleled: a sword battle with a giant Gashadokuro, an underwater escape surrounded by floating eyeballs or a climactic stand-off with a serpent-like moon beast, each sequence is as breathtaking as the last.
