How to choose from this collection

This collection contains 7 thrillers released in 2022 with an Oscar Best Picture or BAFTA Best Film nomination, or Cannes, Venice or Berlin main competition selection, including winners during 2021–2026.

How the ranking works

Total combines 40% audience ratings, 30% critic ratings and 30% original award points, with a bonus for recognition by additional institutions. Scores shown to one decimal place can be tied while their unrounded ranking differs. A Critics score marked ~ is estimated from the catalogue median; its Total is provisional. Recognition years refer to ceremonies and festival editions, not necessarily release dates.
