S-Tier Criterion 4K. The Coens' best film by popular vote, and the 4K announcement generated enormous excitement. The scan comes in at 88.7 GB, which is enormous. Someone spotted a crew member hiding in the bushes during the river scene, which started a whole thing. People are waiting on There Will Be Blood and Assassination of Jesse James to complete the 2007 western trio.

dir. Zach Cregger
Zach Cregger's follow-up to Barbarian already has an S-Tier transfer with bestblurays and hidef-digest reviews out. Manta Lab is doing a steelbook edition. Moved fast from theatrical to disc.
Warner Bros. · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Denis Villeneuve
Consistently called reference quality. The Dolby Atmos sound design gets specific praise, with the border tunnel sequence being the demo moment everyone mentions. Every Villeneuve film in 4K is considered excellent, and Sicario might be the best example. The Best Buy steelbook vs. Target steelbook debate has been going for years, with opinions split roughly evenly. Often found for $5 USD in Walmart bins, which might be the best value in all of 4K collecting.
Lionsgate · 4K + Blu-ray
dir. Stefano Sollima
Agent Matt Graver teams up with operative Alejandro Gillick to prevent Mexican drug cartels from smuggling terrorists across the United States border.
Shout Factory 4K of the Coens' love letter to old Hollywood. Deakins cinematography is the reason to own this, and the HDR pass brings out the Technicolor-homage color work in the dance numbers. The B2G1 at Target is how most people picked this up.
Shout! Factory · 4K Ultra HD
dir. Richard Donner
The 4K transfer jumps off the screen according to people watching it this week. A comfort pick that lands in haul posts year after year for the right reasons.
