It has been, as Gautum, our Editor-in-Chief, will agree one loopy year at the movies. Unpredictable, with some massive failures, but to be honest some very good films, a couple for the ages. Indeed it was the year of the woman, both onscreen and in the directors chair, with more great films directed by the ladies than any in film history.
