Golden Globes nominations will be announced Monday, the [critics](http://ew.com/awards/2017/11/30/2017-new-york-film-critics-circle-winners-list/ "undefined")‘ [groups](http://ew.com/awards/2017/12/03/los-angeles-film-critics-association-awards-2017-winners-list/ "undefined") have already started naming this year’s best films, and several publications ([including EW](http://ew.com/movies/best-and-worst-movies-2017/ "undefined")) have rolled out their own [Top 10s for 2017](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/top/ "undefined"). This year, however, there’s a new authoritative voice on the best films of the year — the Wendy’s Twitter account. After IndieWire’s Eric Kohn reached out to the fast food restaurant on Twitter to inquire after its favorite movie of the year, Wendy’s quickly replied, naming _Lady Bird, The Big Sick, Get Out,_ and _Logan_ as Wendy’s-approved. (_Blade Runner 2049_ also got a shoutout for its lush cinematography.) > [](https://twitter.com/Wendys/status/938449517770354688) > [](https://twitter.com/Wendys/status/938452244684517376) Before long, _Lady Bird’s_ distributor, A24, chimed in, asking for more in-depth review — and Wendy’s delivered a thoughtful take on Greta Gerwig’s acclaimed coming-of-age tale. > [](https://twitter.com/Wendys/status/938458310872911874) Wendy’s also weighed in on an important question currently dividing Film Twitter — whether the critically-acclaimed, 18-part series _Twin Peaks: The Return_ qualifies as a film or a TV show. On one hand, the show’s mastermind, David Lynch, has said that he approached the revival’s story as one long movie. On the other hand, it’s 18 hours long and aired on Showtime. > [](https://twitter.com/Wendys/status/938463246968868865) There you go, everyone. Wendy’s has spoken. _This_ [_article_](http://ew.com/movies/2017/12/06/wendys-twitter-best-movies-2017/ "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://ew.com "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5052855/wendys-twitter-movie-critic/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5052855/wendys-twitter-movie-critic/"},"headline":"The Wendy's Twitter Account Briefly Became a Deep Thinking Movie Critic","datePublished":"2017-12-06T19:55:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:49:08.224Z","description":"Wendy has high praise for \"Lady Bird\"","url":"https://time.com/5052855/wendys-twitter-movie-critic/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdcfa6c24b0f795c0/698892c2196cf4817203b8f2/wendys-value.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Devan Coggan / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdcfa6c24b0f795c0/698892c2196cf4817203b8f2/wendys-value.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"wendys-value","caption":"","creditText":"Lester Cohen—Getty Images for Wendy's","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5052855/wendys-twitter-movie-critic/","name":"The Wendy's Twitter Account Briefly Became a Deep Thinking Movie Critic"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Lady Bird Official Trailer","description":"Official trailer for Greta Gerwig's coming-of-age movie Lady Bird","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/z0biLW53/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-09-06T17:57:51.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/z0biLW53.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5052855/wendys-twitter-movie-critic/","duration":"PT2M33S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5052855/wendys-twitter-movie-critic/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
