Capernaum
(3.5 Stars) An intriguing film from Lebanon where an unhappy child sues his parents for being born.

Cold War
2/5 Oscar Nominations: Foreign Language Film (Poland)Director (Pawel Pawlikowski)Cinematography (Lukas Zal) Maybe one shouldn’t screen this movie after watching the German film “Never Look

Never Look Away
(4.5 Stars) A German drama tracing the life of an East-German artist who struggles to find his true art form, and the meaning of his life. Professional critics didn’t like this as well.

Roma
(5 Stars) Probably the best movie of the year and a great example of excellence in all dimensions. A must-see film.

Shoplifters
(3 Stars) Although critics rate this the second best movie of all 37, I found it tough to follow and lacking in empathy. This is one that probably deserves a second viewing.
