But, be that as it may, I've found my way to these five votes:

1. Silk Tatters,"NEC SPE NEC METU”: Brigadoon (Gina Telaroli)
I, Dalio (Mark Rappaport)

Jurassic World (Colin Trevorrow)

I'll look around and see if there's more -- but there's a lot of highly acclaimed stuff from this year that I detest with a bright flaming hatred.

For me it's Demolition (Jean-Marc Vallée). A strong contender for the worst film of the decade.

i'm not planning on watching it again but i remember once seeing a really long japanese film where at one point they go to this, sort of wellbeing class and they all end up on their knees listening to each others intestines gurgle.

is that happy hour? that scene pops into my head fairly often for some reason but i have no idea what films its from

also for everyone listing manoel de oliveira's Visita ou Memórias e Confissões (memories and confessions) imdb has that as.....1993?

Shot in 1982, this movie was released only in 2015, after the director's death. Director Manoel de Oliveira left instructions that this film be released only after his death. However, it was screened at the Portuguese Cinemathèque in 1993, during a retrospective of the director's work.

For me it's THE REVENANT and that FURY ROAD foolishness. THE REVENANT is one of the low points of a lifetime of moviegoing.

i'll have it shortly hopefully!

Carol is prob my biggest disappointment of the year, to me it just felt like a cold and laboured Sirk pastiche.

I was really into Son of Saul as I was watching it but it left me with the sourest aftertaste. Maybe cuz it felt like The Holocaust: The VR game?

The Lobster is genuinely one of my worst film experiences ever.

Right, that's enough whinging for a month.
