My Definite Cut, 2012
My Definitive Cut is an annual list recognizing the Top 10 Films and 5 Best Directors of each cinematic year. For 2012, I have reviewed 95 theatrically-released films in theaters. That’s 18 more films than last year, so it has been quite productive. Films that can be nominated for this list are 2012 (and some 2011 films) that I have seen in theaters from 01 January 2012 to 28 February 2013.
There are 19 nominees this year (in alphanumeric order):
