Top 10 films of 2021 that you probably didn’t watch

Ground Report | New Delhi: Top 10 films of 2021; Although it is beginning to look dangerously like a tradition, the truth is that it has not been an easy year for cinema. Not much less. The industry continues to try to find the key to adapt to the situation generated by the health crisis of COVID-19 while, for its part, the public seems determined exclusively to see a certain type of proposal on the big screen. 

For their part, the platforms continue to do their thing: trying to combine commercial and artistic triumphs, reaching the perfect balance between both worlds on very few, but highly celebrated, occasions.

Due to the global pandemic of COVID-19 in 2020, many projects and films had their release dates delayed, so, in 2021, it is very likely that we will experience an avalanche of premieres that will put some order in the industry calendar. And that is counting on the restrictions not being hardened and forcing to restructure (again) all the premieres. For now, difficulties through, the year is giving us great joys.  (Top 10 films of 2021)

The best series of 2021 offer us brilliant and constant content, but titles are appearing on the big screen that should not be missed either. We also include the most prominent premieres of platforms such as Netflix, HBO, Apple TV +, Amazon Prime Video, Filmin, and others.
