Our Winner:
- First Man (Crowley, Lucas) – In any period piece the job of a production designer is to take you back to that time in a way that you never question its authenticity. First Man is a criminally overlooked film in the other other categories, but in its pure visuals and sets it stands apart.
The Academy Award Winner:
- Black Panther

Black Panther | 2018 | Dispenses with almost all of the Marvel tropes to deliver a tight and focussed origin story in a beautifully realised world. At last we have a superhero film dialled back down to 10. | Gordon | 8 |

Black Panther | 2018 | One of the most unique Marvel films to date with more realism than most, tremendous visuals and some great characters, but it is let down a little by a rather mediocre villain and the occasionally heavy-handed socio-political undertones. | Mat | 7 |

First Man | 2018 | A wonderful biopic that is clearly about the man and not the mission. Don't expect lots of glory shots of rockets or planets, just a man and his single minded ambition. | Gordon | 9 |

Mary Poppins Returns | 2018 | Does a remarkable job of feeling like an extension of the original. Blunt is tremendous when singing, but loses her way with the spoken parts. | Gordon | 7 |

Roma | 2018 | The deliberately mundane story of a house maid. I was struggling to see what the critics had seen in the film until a scene that singularly blew me away (waves). It was so wonderfully shot and acted that I fully welled up at the beauty and horror of it. | Gordon | 7 |

The Favourite | 2018 | A quirky period tale of two cousins fighting for the attentions of the Queen. Coleman and Stone are superb and the direction inventive, but the story sags quite heavily before a polarising end. | Gordon | 8 |
