London Film Festival 2011: My Top Ten Films

I managed to see forty films at LFF this year, here are my personal highlights:

1. Shame 

“We’re not bad people; we just come from a bad place.”

 

Director Steve McQueen's second feature film delves into the life of a sex addict. 

2. 50/50

3. Chicken with Plums

Beautiful melodramatic story about how art sometimes comes from a painful place. I shed a tear...or two. 

4. Dreams of a Life

 

5. Take Shelter

 

6. Martha Marcy May Marlene

7. The Future

8. We Need to Talk About Kevin

9. Into the Abyss

10. The Monk

Vincent Cassel is PURE SEX in this film.
