Bold and visionary science-fiction, Nolan explores the soul of humanity in his darkest, most ambitious film yet.

Red Amnesia (2014)

  • Wang, Xiaoshuai
  • 2014, China, Wang, Xiaoshuai
  • 1 Comment

An unconventional mystery-drama about the burden of personal guilt as Wang Xiaoshuai riskily pursues narrative fragmentation that ultimately rewards with a strong finale.ย

Tribe, The (2014)

  • 2014, Miroslav Slaboshpitsky, Ukraine

Polished yet brutally raw, this Ukrainian sign language film is an audacious piece of cinema.

Inherent Vice (2014)

  • Anderson, Paul Thomas
  • 2014, Paul Thomas Anderson, USA
  • 3 Comments

A hip, strange, stylish, oddball-ish attempt by P.T. Anderson to capture the drug-fueled exploits of Thomas Pynchonโ€™s eccentric detective operating in the dirty, seedy 1970s.

While We’re Young (2014)

  • Baumbach, Noah
  • 2014, Noah Baumbach, USA
  • Leave a comment

A drama-comedy that tells us painful truths about growing up (and old) through the kind of offbeat comedy that writer-director Noah Baumbach is synonymous with.

Da Sweet Blood of Jesus (2014)

  • Lee, Spike
  • 2014, Spike Lee, USA
  • Leave a comment

Has no real narrative impetus and mistakes a laidback filmmaking style for meaning-making, this modern โ€˜Ganja and Hessโ€™ remake by Spike Lee is a turn-off.

American Sniper (2014)

  • Eastwood, Clint
  • 2014, Clint Eastwood, USA
  • Leave a comment

A contemporary war film with such generic, by-the-numbers treatment that while assuredly directed by Eastwood, doesnโ€™t feel interesting enough.ย

Horse Money (2014)

  • Costa, Pedro
  • 2014, Pedro Costa, Portugal
  • 1 Comment

A tonal elegy in docu-fiction form where Pedro Costa shows why he is a master of chiaroscuros, even if his film remains austere and challenging even for the arthouse film buff.

This Golden Berlin Bear winner is a superbly crafted crime mystery with the requisite suspense, unease and grit that will leave you haunted.

Mommy (2014)

  • Dolan, Xavier
  • 2014, Canada, Xavier Dolan
  • 6 Comments

Intense, zippy, and featuring tour de force performances by the lead cast, this relentless drama exudes the kind of youthful confidence that is so unique to Dolan’s works.
