Best Undistributed Films of 2018

Every year, we also seek to recognize those films that did not come out in theaters in the U.S. for a full theatrical run. All of the below films had no announced U.S. distribution at press time, but the spotlight awaits (and you can keep an eye out for more coverage in a future Film Comment...). For the best films that received a theatrical run in the U.S. this year, here's the Best Released Films of 2018 list.

Peruse the poll results of yesteryear.

Listen to our podcast discussing the results.
