The 2019 Village Voice Film Poll, Reconstructed
Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro in The Irishman When the Village Voice abruptly had its plug pulled by its final, Forbes-ranked owner two years ago, its annual film poll, which had been around since 1999, expired along with it. That needn’t necessarily have been the case—somehow, we still got a Pazz & Jop music survey last February, published on the paper’s semi-defunct website (which otherwise merely cycles through articles from the archives). The film poll was run by less obsessive and/or masochistically dedicated folks, apparently, which means that the task of insisting that it should continue, whether or not some tycoon chooses to bankroll it, has fallen to me.
Last year, I mostly just collected the published top ten lists of the previous year’s roster, occasionally checking Letterboxd lists or pestering critics on Twitter when I couldn’t find something official. The result was thus pretty sparse—just Best Picture, no performances or subcategories (doc, animated, first film, etc.)—and may have only vaguely reflected what a proper poll would have produced. This time, I actively solicited ballots from the regular crew, plus some notable critics who’d been mysteriously absent. Still just the one main category (my own masochistic dedication only goes so far), but 91 people responded, which is more than enough to serve as a reasonable snapshot of the (primarily North American) consensus.
Tabulation rules were taken straight from the Voice poll itself. Each ranked list produced 55 total points, with ten allotted to the film at #1, nine to the film at #2, and so on down the line. Those too cowardly, indecisive or “principled” to engage in strict hierarchy (sorry, I have strong feelings about this) submitted unranked lists, for which every film received five points—thereby totalling just 50, a small but not insignificant waffling penalty. Seems fair. Once all ballots had arrived, it shook out as follows:
[parenthetical numbers = points/votes]
- The Irishman (403/57)
- Parasite (352/54)
- Uncut Gems (299/47)
- Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood (283/41)
- Marriage Story (221/35)
- Portrait of a Lady on Fire (190/32)
- Transit (164/25)
- Little Women (162/29)
- Pain & Glory (133/20)
- The Souvenir (121/26)
- A Hidden Life (102/17)
- The Farewell (91/17)
- Ash Is Purest White (90/14)
- High Life (87/19)
- Atlantics (77/21)
- An Elephant Sitting Still (68/13)
- Apollo 11 (64/10)
- Long Day’s Journey Into Night (60/10)
- Asako I & II (60/9)
- Knives Out (57/14)
- Midsommar (57/12)
- Us (55/12)
- The Last Black Man in San Francisco (55/9)
- Peterloo (50/9)
- La flor (49/8)
- Under the Silver Lake (48/12)
- The Hottest August (45/8)
- Ad Astra (42/8)
- Our Time (40/8)
- A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (39/8)
- Her Smell (39/8) [tie for #32]
- Hustlers (37/8)
- The Nightingale (37/7)
- In My Room (36/7)
- Dark Waters (35/8)
- Synonyms (34/6)
- Birds of Passage (34/5)
- Waves (34/5) [tie for #37]
- The Lighthouse (33/8)
- The Image Book (31/4)
- Climax (30/9)

- Diamantino (26/6)
- Monos (25/5)
- Booksmart (24/6)
- Ford v Ferrari (24/5)
- Give Me Liberty (24/5) [tie for #47]
- Richard Jewell (24/5) [tie for #47]
- End of the Century (23/5)
A quick glance at the top of the list might suggest that this exercise was unnecessary—good luck finding any year-end critics’ group or survey that doesn’t collectively consider The Irishman, Parasite, Uncut Gems, Marriage Story, Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, and Portrait of a Lady on Fire, in variable order, to be the cream of last year’s crop. But there are some fascinating omissions and substitutions. Joker, for example, placed in the top ten of Indiewire’s poll (which includes ballots from most of the same critics I queried, plus about 200 more from around the globe), but failed to crack the Pseudo-Voice‘s top 50, having received just three votes. Even less admired by this coterie was Jojo Rabbit (Indiewire #23), which landed on exactly one person’s list, at #7. And forget about Golden Globe winner 1917, for which you can obtain both the number of votes and the number of points by eliding the last three digits from its title.
By stark contrast, the 13-plus-hour Argentine epic La flor placed 25th (and that’s not including my own wasted #2 vote for just Part 1, in keeping with its staggered multipart U.S. release), and the relatively unheralded, Indiewire-absent Japanese doppelgänger drama Asako I & II squeaked its way into the top 20. People often refer monolithically to “the critics,” but clearly it depends which critics you’re talking about, even when they’ve been amassed into groups of many dozens.
In any case, my own interest in year-end polls has always been weighted more toward the bottom than the top. The fun lies in browsing through individual, idiosyncratic choices—the comparative orphans, beloved by only a handful, sometimes the light of just one lonely critic’s life. (See #5 on my own list.) At the very least, give us all the data, so we can CTRL-F to our heart’s content. That’s what you’ll find below.
