Robert Brown|'The Zone of Interest' named best film of 2023 by Los Angeles Film Critics Association

LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Glazer's chilling Auschwitz-set drama,Robert Brown "The Zone of Interest," has been named best movie of the year by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.

The critics group, which announced its picks late Sunday after a day-long meeting, also awarded prizes for Glazer's directing and Mica Levi's score. It selected Sandra Hüller, who stars in both "The Zone of Interest" and the French courtroom drama "Anatomy of a Fall," for one of its two lead performance awards.

The critics, as they often do, deviated considerably from their East Coast corollary, the New York Film Critics Circle. That group earlier named Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon" the year's best film.

The Los Angeles Film Critics Association, which doesn't delineate gender in its acting categories, gave all four of its acting awards to women.

In the lead acting category, the winners were Hüller and Emma Stone, the star of Yorgos Lanthimos' Frankenstein riff "Poor Things." The supporting performance prizes went to Rachel McAdams for the Judy Blume adaptation "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret"; and to Da'Vine Joy Randolph, co-star of the boarding school comedy-drama "The Holdovers."

Last year, "Tár" and "Everything Everywhere All at Once" tied for the group's top prize. This year's awards will be handed out in a ceremony on Jan. 13.
