The Best Movies And TV Of 2023, Picked For You By NPR Critics

A collage of images are stacked next to each other. One features a light-skinned man in a suit and tie running outside. Another features a man and a woman in an embrace. A third features an illustration of Spiderman in the air. Another image features a close up of a dark-skinned man looking behind his shoulder. Another shows a man in a long jacket and hat with his arms and hands outstretched. And the final image shows two women with dark hair looking straight into the camera.
Clockwise from top left: "Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One," "Passages," "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," "Daughters," "Only Murders in the Building," "Hijack."
