The National Board of Review today named the top-grossing film of 2022 as its Best Film of the year.
" Top Gun: Maverick is a thrilling crowd-pleaser that is expertly crafted on every level," said NBR President Annie Schulhof . " Tom Cruise , Joseph Kosinski and the entire filmmaking team have succeeded in making an incredibly popular film that brought audiences back to theaters, while at the same time being a full-on cinematic achievement."
The news comes about an hour after the PGA announced Maverick star Tom Cruise as the 2023 recipient of its David O. Selznick Achievement Award , its highest film honor. See NBR's list of the year's 10 best films and its other award winners below.
