Over the next month there's going to be an awful lot of critics weighing in with their picks for the year, and most of them will be minor regional groups, of which this is the first. Nevertheless, their choices here are so outside the box and inspired that it makes me especially glad this doesn't seem to be a year in which one movie will sweep everything (although I'm sure Boyhood still has the edge- it seems to be making just about everyone's top ten list). But yay for Snowpiercer, one of my absolute favorite movies of the year!
