Here’s a bold statement: 2014 is looking like a pretty damn good year for movies so far. We’ve had a few strong ones in a row (2011, 2012 and 2013 were all overflowing with goodness), but a little less than halfway through this year, and the discerning moviegoer has been spoiled with choices. Of course, there’s been a lot of swill, but from the blockbuster to tiny foreign indies, there’s been plenty worth checking out. As is traditional once it gets to June, we’ve sat back and taken stock, and picked out the very best movies of 2014 (so far). In fact, there’s been so much goodness on offer that we could fill the list a couple of times over solely with films we’ve seen at 2014 festivals.
But while that’s certainly been the story of our 2014, it’s not particula rly representative of the what’s been going in the U.S. Theaters, so we’ve strictly limited ourselves to a slightly uneven split between films that have actually already been released, and those that we’ve seen at a festival ( Sundance, SXSW, Berlin, Tribeca or Cannes) that either have 2014 dates slated, or we strongly suspect/hope that they will. But we’re also keen to know what you’ve enjoyed in 2014, at festivals, in theaters or on VOD—let us know your own favorites of the year so far in the comments section. And read our choices below Best Films That Have Been Released In 2014 “ “ There are plenty of scuzzy revenge-type American independent genre movies out there, but for one to premiere at Cannes Directors’ Fortnight suggests that it’s something special, and that’s exactly what “ Blue Ruin” delivered by the time we caught up to it in Toronto 2013. The story of a vagrant who discovers that the man convicted of murdering his parents has been released from prison and sets out to take vengeance, only to become a target of the killer’s family in turn, is a bravura follow-up to “ Murder Party” by director Jeremy Saulnier.
