“2021 was a strong year for movies – but you’ll be forgiven if you didn’t notice. Vaccines were made available at a maddeningly slow and sputtering pace, and even once we got that serum in our veins, it took many of us time to reacquaint ourselves with the outside world. Digital or streaming releases were theoretically more convenient, but in many ways having some of the year’s best films thrown onto the ever-growing Content Pile made them even easier to miss. We here at the Hassle have been doing our damnedest to point our readers toward the Good Shit, but sometimes the best way to find it is to have someone sit you down and project it in front of your face.” – Oscar Goff, Boston Hassle
