Courtesy of Magnolia Pictures, Warner Bros, A24, Sony Pictures Classics, Paramount Pictures. Morgan Rojas, Nelson Tracey for www.cinemacy.com What we consider to be the best of this year represents a combination of the movies that had the greatest emotional impact on us, matched with movies that felt innovative or groundbreaking. Here are the films we consider to be this year’s best: 10. Tangerine This micro-indie surges energy and pulses with electricity at every turn and around every corner of its L.A. backdrop. It also happens to be shot entirely on the iPhone 5s. Like its off-beat shooting style, the flick of the summer, Tangerine, is all attitude, all brash, and all defiant in its film-making, which takes just one moment to learn after meeting our main characters: two Transgender prostitutes, Alexandra (Mya Taylor) and Sin-Dee (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez), who serve as a colorful cast of characters in this seedy, yellow and green colored L.A. circus world. 9. White God From the opening shot of 300 dogs chasing a girl on a bike, it’s clear this is going to be something unique. White God is essentially Oliver Twist with a protagonist who is a canine. The fact that this film manages to cross a foray of genres, incite an emotional response from non-human protagonists, and on top of that also be an allegory for the lower-class Hungarian experience makes it a complete work of art. The title, an obscure reference to the confusing dynamic between dog owners and their pets, seals this film as one of the most intricate and fascinating cinema experiences of the year. 8. Iris As a 93-year-old fashion icon known worldwide, Iris Apfel exudes a naturalness that makes you feel as if you know her. Director Albert Maysles, whose previous films include Grey Gardens and Gimme Shelter, takes audiences into Apfel’s life behind the scenes in the documentary Iris. From her private apartment in New York that she shares with her 100-year-old husband Carl, to her storage warehouse that doubles as a closet, we embark on an 80-minute journey that finds inspiration–and words of wisdom from Iris herself–at every turn. 7. Grandma At a brisk 78 minutes, Grandma packs in some of the best movie material from the entire year. Hidden within the deceitfully simple premise is some of the most layered and fun storytelling I’ve seen and plenty of humor and sincere laughter. This is a movie that manages to cover the board in terms of being funny, endearing, and poignant. With that, it provides the largest wealth of dimensional female characters while mainstream movies notoriously sideline women’s roles. 6. The Tribe A standout at last year’s Cannes Film Festival is the Ukrainian crime drama The Tribe, a film told through non-verbal acting and sign language with no voice overs or subtitles about a deaf teenager struggling to fit in at his new boarding school. It is a modern day silent movie with a vibrancy that will leave a lasting impression on those who are willing to experience this unique art film. The Tribe was made for an audience waiting for an authentically beautiful and powerful piece of cinematic art. 5. Ex Machina Ex Machina is one of the most aesthetically beautiful and stylish films to come out this year. Writer/Director Alex Garland’s “Sci-Fi meets Mystery” film tells the story of a young programmer, Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson), who is selected to participate in the opportunity to test an artificially intelligent robot, Ava, (Alicia Vikander) created by the tech-wiz recluse and quirk-capitalist Nathan (Oscar Isaac) and discover what qualities make it human enough to possibly pass as such. Suspenseful and intelligent, Ex Machina also stars some of the year’s hottest actors- Vikander can be seen in The Danish Girl and Isaac stars in the highly anticipated Star Wars: The Force Awakens. 4. Room Of the numerous movies circulating Oscars and other awards this year, my favorite is by far and away Room. Best viewed with as little information as possible (the trailer gives away far too much), it is an emotional experience not easily forgotten. Brie Larson delivers one of the strongest performances of her career as Ma, a victim of a kidnapping who has been forced to create a home out of a woodshed where she and her son Jack (Jacob Tremblay) are being held captive. This is a film that represents the pinnacle of dramatic filmmaking and thankfully is receiving the awards attention it deserves. 3. Mad Max: Fury Road Normally, blockbusters are saturated, safe, and meant to be appealing to everyone, but nothing is easy to digest about Mad Max: Fury Road. It is a wild unrestrained ride of non-stop mayhem; in other words, it is an absolute blast. Jumpstarting a franchise that nobody thought needed another entry, and most people born after 1990 have never seen, George Miller reinvigorated his fable to new heights. If every franchise reboot felt as fresh as Fury Road, then I could get behind the industry’s obsession with sequels and reimagining old intellectual properties. I can’t remember the last time action sequences or chase scenes felt so fresh and alive, making this one of the finest action movies of the decade. 2. Victoria Despite the fact that the biggest selling point on this movie is that the entire film is one uninterrupted shot, Victoria is more than just a movie all in a single take. For the first half of the film, director Sebastian Schipper borrows from the styles of Richard Linklater to introduce us to the film’s protagonists, lonely partier Victoria and four men she encounters on her way out of a club. The fact that this film has both the most daring cinematography See Film Review, page 6 Call Now 800-409-2420 Call Now 800-918-4172 Are You Still Paying Too Much For Your Medications?
