BEST FILMS OF 2013

1. Gravity

Gravity

Directed by Alfonso Cuarón

It's a great survival story set in the most dangerous of places, outer space. But the meta-narrative only makes it better. Director Alfonso Cuaron spent years developing and making the movie, refused to compromise his vision, pushed the boundaries of filmmaking technique. This is the great aspect of the film. Kill me, but I am not a fan of Sandra Bullock, she was OK, I can’t get over her pseudo comedic attitude, she plays herself in every movie, compromises I guess.
