FILM COMMENT's TOP 20 


I contribute my "best of" list to Film Comment's critics' poll, and, in advance of their January/February issue the magazine has posted the results on their website. The winner? Topping the Film Comment list of Best Released Films is Kelly Reichardt's exquisite Wendy and Lucy. At the top of the Best Unreleased Films is Lucrezia Martel's The Headless Woman. See the full results at the link.

Ugh. Wendy and Lucy was a student film that happened to have a famous actress starring in it.

I couldn't disagree more - I loved how simple and effective it was. It's not my top movie, but it'd be in my top five for the year. What would you have chosen?

If you're interested, I posted my own, extended review (partially done in MSPaint) over here:
