The latter is likely my favourite film of the year thus far.

It features amazing performances from Wasikowska and Goode. It's a marvelous piece of character study.

Nothing else comes close.

Rooney Mara gave quite a performance, and despite the seemingly cheesy turn towards erotic thriller territory, it's a movie that demands more that one viewing.

Trance is the worst movie I've seen in a long time.

Unfortunately, both have gone straight to DVD. The first film, "The Best Offer," also features Geoffrey Rush and Donald Sutherland and was directed by the esteemed Giuseppe Tornatore. It also features a soundtrack scored by Ennio Morricone. Beautifully shot primarily in Trieste, Italy, it centers around the Art Auction elites. There are so many layers and twists in this film, and the acting is extremely impressive. And then there's "Ashes," also featuring the great Ray Winstone, about a son who breaks his father — who's afflicted with Alzheimers, out of a hospital for nefarious reasons. Both films should be given the attention they truly deserve.

So far it's my favorite movie of the year.

Some of those I haven't seen obviously (Llewyn Davis and Blue for example). The only one I didn't care for was the hackneyed The Place Beyond the Pines.

Still haven't seen as much as I would like but I guess that is what happens when you go to school in a small North Carolina town.

Some of these films won't get a release until 2014. Most critics take into this into consideration. As should you guys.

I agree, keep it to what was actually released this year and make a separate article about the best from film festivals this year. Two separate beasts.
