I’ll write more on the topic once the holidaze clears but for now here’s my ballot for Indiewire’s year-end poll. Boyhood really was the best film of 2014–a stunning achievement–though I felt a greater resonance with Tracks; the timeless and timely Selma; and that bastion of second-wave feminism, The Babadook. Who knew I could fall in love with an Aussie horror film? Also on the list: Ida, Love Is Strange, Interstellar, Inherent Vice, Force Majeure, and Snowpiercer.
