2013: The Halfway Point - part the first


As we're halfway through the movie-going year I thought I'd take stock and post my top ten UK theatrical releases so far. It's maybe not as fully rounded as I'd like but there's still a fair few movies I've yet to catch up with.

1. Beyond the Hills (Christian Mungiu, ROM)

2. What Richard Did (Lenny Abrahamson, IRE)

3. Mud (Jeff Nichols, USA)

4. Jiro Dreams of Sushi (David Gelb, USA)
