This film absolutely blew me away. What an emotional powerhouse. It was so powerful and moving on so many levels. This is one of the best films I've seen in a while. What a pity it was not able to grab the Oscar. I hope Ida is just as wonderful, or else this feel was majorly robbed!
shareIda was really good, but Tangerines is better in my opinion.
shareThe Foreign Film category this year was packed - MUCH better than the actual Best Picture nominee list IMHOP.
TANGERINES, LEVIATHAN and IDA are three of the best movies of any kind I have seen in the last 12 months. TIMBUKTU is very good, and WILD TALES, while inconsistent, is a decent fun ride.
My ranking would be:
1. IDA
2. LEVIATHAN
3. TANGERINES
4. TIMBUKTU
5. WILD TALES
But, I could easily live with a re-arrangement of the the top 3 depending on personal preference. I just found IDA to be a piece of masterful mesmerizing simplicity, but your mileage may vary.
1. TANGERINES
2. LEVIATHAN
3. WILD TALES
4. IDA
5. TIMBUKTU
this would be my ranking. Ida was visually stunning but thats it.
Watched both, and Tangerines is better. Ida won because holocaust topics always sell well.
shareWILD TALES: 7/10
TANGERINES: 8/10
IDA; LEVIATHAN: Worst good movie
