How to choose from this collection

This collection contains 8 crime films released in 2024 with an Oscar Best Picture or BAFTA Best Film nomination, or Cannes, Venice or Berlin main competition selection, including winners during 2021–2026. The Crime label comes from the catalogue genres; a film can belong to more than one genre. Release year and recognition year are separate: a film can receive recognition at a later ceremony or festival.

Emilia Pérez leads this Total Score ranking with 91.6. The Girl with the Needle has one of the highest Audience scores in the selection (77.8). The Seed of the Sacred Fig has one of the highest known Critics scores (88.5). Comparing these separate scores can help you choose between the films.

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.
