As 2018 comes to a close, we reflect on its best art.

As 2018 comes to a close, we reflect on its best art -- starting with film. The year included some major blockbusters, but it was also notable for a number of movies containing a socially relevant message. Jeffrey Brown speaks with film critics Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post and Mike Sargent of WBAI about "If Beale Street Could Talk" and other standout favorites from the year in film.
