Metacritic’s ‘Official’ Top 50 Films of 2021

It was updated weekly on Mondays throughout 2021

Extracted from here. These lists follow the same eligibility rules for my 'official' Letterboxd top 50s since 2016. Unlike how Metacritic's year rankings use U.S. releases, I go by first national release by any country, excluding only festival releases.

See Metacritic tag for other top lists.
