2023 was probably the year when I least wrote in Papiro & Mint, and this is probably the latest I have ever posted my list of best movies of the year, but guess what? Papiro & Mint turned 10 years old today! I’m so out of time that the only time I had to write this was during the airport while waiting for my flight; however, I can say this is probably the most accurate list of the best movies of the year I have ever written since I had time to literally watch everything I was planning to. So here’s to the best movies of 2023!
