10. Heartbeats
Lifts technique effortlessly to create style. There is nothing original here, but the finished work is both immediate and compelling. Xavier Dolan is destined for great things.
9. Jane Eyre
A wonderfully atmospheric romance. The director moved from the gang wars of Mexico to classic British literature with almost too much ease.
8. A Dangerous Method
David Cronenberg continues to evolve as a filmmaker. Many say he's mellowed, but his films have simply become more internal, body horror replaced by mental chiller. This film alternates between being an unsettling account of a man's journey into his own mind and fascinating biopic. See it.
7. Certified Copy
A film that takes at least two viewings to piece it together, it is non stop thought provoking. Who are we watching? What is their relationship? Plus, Juliette Binoche gives her best performance in years.
