Comments on: Christopher Bell’s Best Films Of 2012 https://staging2.theplaylist.net/christopher-bells-best-films-of-2012-20121228/ Sun, 22 May 2016 03:27:48 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: Grover https://staging2.theplaylist.net/christopher-bells-best-films-of-2012-20121228/#comment-113086 Sun, 22 May 2016 03:27:48 +0000 http://www.indiewire.com/2012/more/uncategorized/christopher-bells-best-films-of-2012-249921/#comment-113086 Like good criticism should, your writing makes me realize how much harder I need to watch! It's an essential part of being a creator. Christopher, I know you just a bit, but can't wait to see your already engaging work as a filmmaker keep expanding. If retiring your byline (at least for awhile…) helps the process, so be it!

Keep reviewing independent films, 2013 more than ever has to spread the beauty of independent performance, and what you do is essencial for it healthy growth.

The most panoramic glimpse at what's going on in American independent cinema c. 2012 that I've read

It's like all we get in theaters here is Dark Knight Rises and Wreck-It Ralph.

I'm sure whatever else you in cinema will be equally idiosyncratic and inspiring.

The 1 film that i saw was Holy Motors which i just found to be too WTF?! but i guess that's the point. Next time i might take some drugs before i watch that film again! Lol.

Interesting list. The one that interests me the most is The Hunter. Although i would put Willem Defoe's The Hunter in my own top 20 list as i thought it was superb with an extremely emotional ending and one of Defoe's best.

I mean, have you see those films!!! Jesus Christ, I think some critics have this desperate compulsion to be "different" and "avant-garde" because no rational human being could even call those things "films" much less "great films." Wow.

You and me will continue the praise to anyone who'll listen to watch Elena (my #1 for the year). You will be missed here at The Playlist!

You–and your perspective on film–will be missed. Don't be a stranger.
