Even at Mustang's most confined and politically pointed, this debut is brimming over with passion, ideas and non-competitive but disparate tones. Can't wait for her next one. | Danny Boyle's frequent screenwriter moves over into the director's chair and should stay there. It's minimalist but he's got razor sharp visual instincts. Can't wait for the next one. | ![]() |

Finalists: Christian Petzold provides Phoenix with such a mysterious rich noir vibe, it continues resonating and haunting despite its perfect and very final ending; Lenny Abrahamson nails both halves of Room's mother/son drama, guiding incredible performances and audience catharsis; Denis Villeneuve is in such total control of all the crafts at his disposal in Sicario that I'm almost (almost) wondering if he can pull off Blade Runner 2 despite it being a terrible idea as sequelizations go. He's on fire right now; don't put him out. |
