Most surprising movie of the year delivers on all levels.

Good ol' fashioned musical for the 21st century.

Outstanding all-star ensemble, with career-topping performance from Annette Bening. One of the best movies of the year for me.

Best documentary of the year.

Devastating family drama made on a nickel and a dime.

Casey Afflick is showing us that he's more than Ben's little brother.

Don't call it a Miles Davis bio-pic! Shout out to the Queen City as Cincinnati once again stands in for New York

Latest Kelley Reichart movie is a winner yet again.

Another winning indie film

Resistance is futile, this is the latest music-filled charmer from the maker of "Once".

Barry Jenkins' devastating look at the life and times of one African-American (played by three different actors over the years).

The latest labor of love from writer-director-producer-set designer-composer Anna Biller

Outstanding coming-of-age movie, filmed entirely in Cincinnati's gritty West End and Over the Rhine neighborhoods.

Clever and utterly enjoyable 'shark movie', it's like Jaws retooled for the 21st century.

Not for everyone's taste, but I enjoyed this quirky 'romance' drama

Engaging family drama from start to end

As much enjoyable for the scenery as it is for the story

One of the most unique movies of the year.

Another post-WW II nun drama from Poland (think: Ida)

Directed by Paul Verhoeven, but don't be fooled, this is an excellent movie, with Isabelle Huppert in the role of a life time (again!)

(... and those "bubbling under")

Some great stuff but the movie is overly long at 2 hrs. 40 min.

Natalie Portman captures Jackie Kennedy perfectly

Intriguing Iraq war drama from Denmark

Engaging family drama from Italy

Excellent 2014 movie from Norway that showed up in some US theaters two years later...
