National Board of Review Anticipation
These announce on NBR's official Twitter at 3 Est. today. They're usually good for a surprising film in their top 10. I remember when
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty made the cut. Then there are pleasant surprises like when
The Perks of Being A Wallflower was in their top 10
. This year I'm pretty much expecting
Wonder to be their surprising inclusion. That or
Downsizing. That feels like this year's
Walter Mitty in a way. Both dramedies with lukewarm responses and starring Kristen Wiig.
A list of their top 10's from the years can be found here:
