Film Comment's annual points-based poll on the best films of 2014 has been unveiled on their website. Richard Linklater's Boyhood was, perhaps, not the runaway frontrunner for this honour, unlike so many others lately, but it took the top award nonetheless. They also have a list for films that went unreleased this year in the U.S., which Alice Rohrwacher's Cannes Jury Prize winner The Wonders bagged. Both films fought off seriously fierce competition to top these lists, so well done to each of them individually, and to all of the films that feature herein. Personally, I'm delighted to see Lav Diaz's Norte, the End of History at #15 on their main list, and his latest narrative feature, From What Is Before, at #5 on their unreleased list. Take a look:
