2000's Hidden Gems: Metacritic's 90+ Films

Metacritic employs a weighted average system for film reviews, differing from simple approval ratings. This methodology makes exceptionally high scores, like those above 90, rare achievements. Such scores indicate that a film has garnered significant adoration from a majority of critics.

While the year 2000 is not widely celebrated for its cinematic output, it remarkably yielded four modern classics. These films achieved Metascores in the 90s, signifying critical acclaim. Among these are two French and Taiwanese arthouse masterpieces, one international crossover success, and a prominent American epic comedy.
