In a World... 2013
Lake Bell's feature debut certainly has a whole heap of moments, some memorable lines and sweet moments, but overall In A World... feels a little half-baked, it could have done with a stronger central voice.

Cockneys vs Zombies 2013
Cockneys Vs. Zombies is a deliriously entertaining comedy horror action adventure film, well made, well performed, with some great music choices, a credits song that'll stick in your head for an age, and some cracking cameos to boot. It's not the smartest film of the year, but damn it if it's not one of the boldest. A good fun time. 'Ave a butchers.

Song For Marion 2013
With strong lead performances from Stamp, Redgrave, Eccleston and Arteton alongside a lot of very funny beats and a wealth of heart, Song For Marion is a cracking gem, a British film to be proud of this year. Song For Marion is an absolute treat, fulfilling, beautiful, heartbreaking and rousing.

The Kings of Summer 2013
It's a nostalgic, funny and emotional film that really yearns for simpler days. With a strong cast, clever writing and wonderful direction, the third act may find itself falling down a few too many holes, but there's still so much to enjoy.

Epic 2013
Whilst the tress genuinely look lovely, and the 3D is mostly decent, Epic misses the point of cinema at its very core, and the title is setting the bar far too high for what is ultimately a middlingly small-scale adventure (Pun not intended) full of under-written characters and nothing particularly funny for anyone over 6.

Iron Man 3 2013
This may not be the last time an Iron Man film is made, but it may certainly be the best one they'll make.

Mud 2013
A magnificent follow up to Take Shelter, with similar tone and yet a stronger, more fulfilling outcome.

To the Wonder 2013
If you didn't know you were watching Terrence Malick's latest film it'd be easy to figure someone's made a painfully accurate parody of a Terrence Malick film.

Spike Island 2013
Spike Island has potential, and from those who were around back then, it manages to capture the feeling of the turn of the decade rather well, but the laughs are cheap, the drama moreso and the script lacking characters interesting enough to go on the journey with.

Upstream Color 2013
Mind control maggots, pigs or fate, love conquers all, white flowers turning blue is a conspiracy. If any of that makes sense, congratulations, you're Shane Carruth and you've just made your second feature.

The Place Beyond the Pines 2013
It's a journey, one full of brutal, raw moments, with a destination long in the distance, but your eyes are so transfixed to those that pass by along the road. A stunning, monumental piece of work.
