Trap Street (2013)
This seemingly saccharine drama about a blossoming romance between two strangers plunges headlong into an unexpected, but satisfying direction.
Drug War (2013)
A violent climactic showdown between cops and drug dealers redeems this part-intriguing, part-draggy work by Johnnie To.
Ida (2013)

A soulful effort that is one of the Coens very best, with a broodingly excellent performance by Oscar Issac.
