10 Recent, Great Movies No One Saw Coming

Not every great movie arrives to a chorus of fanfare, some fly under the radar until people are forced to take notice. In the current cultural landscape, most movies that get people excited are sequels, especially those that are a part of long-running franchises. But only focusing on the blockbusters can mean missing out on some word-of-mouth hits that build immense critical acclaim. If a movie doesn’t have recognizable characters or a huge star on the poster, then it takes something special for it to succeed. This means that some filmmakers are forced to push the limits of their creativity, and they end up producing some remarkable movies that nobody saw coming.
