3. Madeline's Madeline

Though Madeline's Madeline scored some of the most passionate and effusive five-star reviews coming out of Sundance, many critics also qualified this by adding that the film most definitely isn't for everyone.

At its core a movie about the familial dysfunction between a mother (Miranda July) and her mentally ill daughter (Helena Howard), what takes the film to the next level is director Josephine Decker's disorientating approach to narrative and reality.

With favourable comparisons to David Lynch, it seems like Madeline's Madeline could be the year's big art-house challenge for audiences prepared to pay close attention and soak the experience in.
