The Kansas City Film Critics Circle went their own way earlier today and selected 1917 as the best film of the year! I haven’t seen 1917 yet so I’ll withhold on saying whether it deserved the award more than Irishman or Parasite. However, I have seen Dolemite Is My Name and I am absolutely thrilled that the KCFCC selected the excellent Da’Vine Joy Randolph as best supporting actress!
