The Wind Rises

A deeply poignant and measured story about a touchy subject. I get why it's controversial on both sides, but I think Miyazaki handled the material with admirable maturity and honesty. An excellent film.

Prisoners

As usual from Villeneuve, brilliantly directed, acted, and shot; I wasn't quite as swept away as I was by some of his other films, but the craftsmanship on display is still superb.
