THE PROFESSIONALS TELLURIDE
They're back. It's time to reveal the results of MTFB's annual poll of film industry professionals who agreed to rate the films on a 1-5 scale and allow me then to collate and average those scores. The Pros are a mix of critics, awards experts and other industry insiders. To make the list this year a film had to be rated by at least half of the Pros. That threshold allowed ten films to make the list.
The Pros:
Erik Anderson/Awards Watch
Josh Bis/Seattle Film Critics Society and TheSunBreak.com
Christina Jeurling Birro/Pop Culture Confidential
Scott Feinberg/The Hollywood Reporter
Mark Johnson/The Awards Alchemist
Dave Karger/Turner Classic Movies
Scott Kernan/Awards Daily
Joey Magidson/Awards Radar
Ryan McQuade/Awards Watch
Will Mavity/Next Best Picture

And the results are:
1) You Can See Everything 4.83
2) Wild Horse 9 4.62
3) Fjord 4.30
4) Club Kid 4.23
5) The Debut 4.12
6) La Bola Negra 4.08
7) Tender Loving Care 3.82
8) Elsinore 3.74
9) Ink 3.67
10) A Long Winter 3.00
I had intuitively thought that 2026 might be a banner year for the number of films with an average rating of 4.0 or above. 2026 had six of them as you can see above, but as I looked back to all of the polls since I started doing them in 2012, I discovered that five TFFs had produced more: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2019 with 2013 and 2015 being the top years each having eight films that reached the 4.0+ threshold.
Another note, You Can See Everything-the "super-secret" screening-was a huge hit with the professionals. The 4.83 rating is going to put it in the Top Ten All Time Pro's Ratings. The Huntsinger gambit here was a tremendous success.
Now, for The People's Telluride...on Monday!
