Browse all the votes and comments in our poll of 168 international film critics.
This year we invited our contributors and colleagues to nominate the best five films they'd seen in the previous 12 months, and to contribute some accompanying remarks on their choices or their film year in general.
Click on a film circle to see who voted for it, or (to the right) a voter to see their contributions.
