10 Best Movies Of 2013 (So Far)
2013 in film has been, for my money, a pretty weak year compared to the last few; so many Hollywood blockbusters have missed the mark somewhat (I'm looking at you, Iron Man 3), and simply, there just haven't been any big surprise hits that defied expectation, such as last year's brilliant 21 Jump Street and Chronicle, both of which were out of the gate in the first 3 months of the year. I've seen close to 100 films released this year so far (excluding 2012 carry-overs like Lincoln and all other Oscar fare), and the vast majority of the big-hitters I've enjoyed have been from both the Cannes and Sundance film festivals. However, in the interest of balance, here's a top 10 that combines a few from Cannes, a few from Sundance, and a few from multiplexes a little closer to home.
