I absolutely cannot work out why The Beasts isn’t in every best of list like Anatomy of a Fall is. Why I didn’t hear about it until the end of the year. Loved it. Great article.
FALLEN LEAVES is playing in Seattle next month at the theater I volunteer at, so I'll be sure to check it out. Of the few movies I saw that came out this year, WE KILL FOR LOVE was a pleasant surprise and my favorite of the bunch.
I LOVE a list. But I do agree when you go through year-end best of lists they are so much the same that I do wonder if it is just a, "Well, everybody else said this one," type of thing. I LOVED and loathed Fair Play. I mean, I loved it but I loathed it because of how angry it made me. I actually yelled out loud at my TV all alone in my little house.
Hoping I'll be able to find All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt. You've made me want to see that one.
Thanks for this great list. Although you include some films I wish I had skipped (haha), you have many I missed and want to check out. It points to how broken the distribution system is that so many good movies no longer get seen or even have a true opportunity to gain a following. THANK YOU for not letting them get lost altogether!

I love that you were able to work in a quote from one of my fav writers - M.F.K. Fisher>
