It wasn't so bad in the end, at least where cinema was concerned. Even with all those tentpole releases pushed back to next year, 2020 was so thronged with quality movie titles that narrowing down this selection of the best titles was quite a task. With theatrical releases few and far between, we found ourselves excellently served by platforms such as Curzon, IFI@Home, and Netflix (which emerged as a feature-film market leader). When cinemas could be returned to in safety, there were still home-grown wonders and big-studio productions worth venturing out for, with the odd bloated anti-climax thrown in for good measure (Christopher Nolan's Tenet was hugely disappointing).
