Prisoners
The overall record undersells Prisoners. 27% across 1,895 head-to-head matchups looks average until you look at how the numbers shift as a tournament progresses. The American breakout that put Villeneuve on Hollywood's radar is a punishing moral thriller voters tend to admire more than they want to sit through again. Choosing it means re-entering hours of rain, dread, and a decent man doing indecent things, and not everyone signs up for that twice. It ranks among the weakest 2010s performers on the platform.
Synopsis
Keller Dover is facing every parent’s worst nightmare. His six-year-old daughter, Anna, is missing, together with her young friend, Joy, and as minutes turn to hours, panic sets in. The only lead is a dilapidated RV that had earlier been parked on their street.
25% opening, 53% in finals. The 28-point improvement tells you everything: Prisoners outperforms its overall record exactly when it matters most.
Incendies at 51% is as close to a dead heat as the platform produces. Every vote matters in this one. Prisoners dominates Dune at 73%. Dune: Part Two at 23% is the one matchup where that confidence disappears.
Best of Denis Villeneuve is Prisoners's tournament to lose. The final against Sicario at 61% is competitive but the outcome is consistent.
Denis Villeneuve's 8 films span a wide range: Dune: Part Two at 77% to Enemy at 5%. Prisoners sits at #6.
