The Immigrant 2013
I'll be honest: I didn't finish this one. Put tropes of class issues, an immigrant, two warring brothers, and a woman who must compromise her dignity in order to survive, shake and stir, and you don't always end up writing Great American Novel. While Marion Cotillard is captivating to watch, this particular story has been told and told, and the director gave me no reason to think he was offering anything new to this canon. Yawn.

Jodorowsky's Dune 2013
Interesting to see how the ideas seeded in this project bloomed in other films. Other than that, this film is a self-congratulatory sausage fest.
