Drive My Car is the success story of the Seattle Film Critics Society this year as it comes out on top of its list of award winners. It takes four of the group's prizes for 2021, all of them for director/co-writer Hamaguchi Ryusuke, including Best Picture and Best Director. Jane Campion's critical smash The Power of the Dog takes two, while both Dune and The Green Knight fare well in technical categories, picking up three apiece.
