Vic + Flo Saw a Bear (2013)

  • Cote, Denis
  • 2013, Canada, Denis Cote
  • Leave a comment

A striking and unconventional film it may be, but Cote doesn’t seem to know what he wants to say with this story of two lesbian ex-convicts futilely hoping for a peaceful life in the woods.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Walesa: Man of Hope (2013)

  • Wajda, Andrzej
  • 2013, Andrzej Wajda, Poland
  • Leave a comment

This late-career effort by the Polish master feels tonally odd, but it gives a broad and largely engaging look at Poland’s most important figure during the Solidarity movement of the 1980s that sparked the decline of Soviet communist rule. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Counselor, The (2013)

  • Scott, Ridley
  • 2013, Ridley Scott, UK, USA
  • 1 Comment

A didactic and dialogue-heavy thriller that is directed with confidence by Ridley Scott. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Exhibition (2013)

  • Hogg, Joanna
  • 2013, Joanna Hogg, UK
  • Leave a comment

Architecture meets cinema in this minimalist if keenly observed, hauntological tale of two intimacy-starved artists living in a glass house in London as they prepare for its sale.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Heli (2013)

  • Escalante, Amat
  • 2013, Amat Escalante, Mexico
  • 1 Comment

A Mexican family is irreversibly changed when drugs unwittingly enter their lives in this stunningly assured piece of cinema (winner of Best Director at Cannes) that may shock even the most seasoned of viewers.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

World’s End, The (2013)

  • Wright, Edgar
  • 2013, Edgar Wright, UK
  • 1 Comment

A meta-comedy that is conscious about its fun-ness, though not all of the gags hit the sweet spot in this final installment of Edgar Wright’s ‘Cornetto’ trilogy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Tom at the Farm (2013)

  • Dolan, Xavier
  • 2013, Canada, France, Xavier Dolan
  • Leave a comment

Dolan takes an unexpected left turn with this largely solid suspense-laden drama about grief, death and hidden secrets, with a sprinkle of male-on-male masochism. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Jodorowsky’s Dune (2013)

  • Others
  • 2013, Documentary, USA
  • 2 Comments

Fantastic documentary about a fantasy, a failed dream, accompanied by a stunning electronic soundtrack to boot, with the misunderstood Jodorowsky at the center of his whirlwind. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Hard to Be a God (2013)

  • Others
  • 2013, Aleksei German, Russia
  • 1 Comment

There is probably no other purgatorial cinematic experience like this—a Pasolini-meets-Tarkovsky medieval sci-fi epic that finds stark beauty in all of its carnivalesque filth and revolting excess.    

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Grandmaster, The (2013)

  • Wong, Kar Wai
  • 2013, China, Hong Kong, Wong, Kar Wai
  • 3 Comments

Like Leone’s Once Upon a Time in America, this is a film about the nostalgic evocation of time, space, style, and tradition.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.
