Those of you who listen to the film review podcast I host with Ashley, or who follow me on Letterboxd, will notice that some of these choices do not jibe with my Best of 2021 selections. That is, indeed, a first. What is also a first is that my Best Picture selection doesn't win in any other category. That isn't to cast shade on I'm Your Man at all. If anything, it underscores how good of a year for movies 2021 was. There was a lot of love to go around.

If you haven't yet watched any or all of this year's winners (or nominees), I cannot recommend them enough.

Released earlier this year, the film stars Daniel Radcliffe in a more adult role than previously seen in his Harry Potter career. He plays a young lawyer whose wife died in childbirth, so he has been raising their son (mostly) on his own. With money tight, and his job on the line, the young attorney takes an assignment in a remote village, much to his dismay. The small, closed community Radcliffe's character finds himself in is apparently haunted by a woman dressed in all black. When she is seen, a child dies. She is seen quite a lot during the course of the film. The locals get edgy with the attorney, making him feel most unwelcome. And when he is doing his work, sorting through the papers of a deceased elderly woman, he discovers the secret of the woman in black. It doesn't
