2015 was an undeniably great year for film. From the surprisingly jaw-dropping chaos of Mad Max, to the heart breaking beauty of Pixar’s Inside Out and the return of the almighty Star Wars franchise, film goers have been getting their money’s worth. But, every year there’s a handful of excellent movies that fall undeservedly under the radar. Here’s our pick of the best films you missed in 2015.
If you were impressed by 2014’s Oscar winning Birdman and it’s one continuous shot throughout, then prepare to have your mind blown. While that film was mostly constricted to a theatre, Victoria takes viewers on a ride through nightclubs, kidnaps, car chases and pretty incredible set pieces, all in one take. It would have been an impressive feat purely on a logistical level alone, but the film also manages to carry a great deal of emotional weight as well. All of the incredible unfolding events are held in place by an anchoring performance from Laia Costa as a heroine in a spot of trouble.
