A belated post recognising the Village Voice's excellent picks for the best in film this year. The publication's critics convened to make choices across a variety of categories and posted the results online: Mad Max: Fury Road was top for Best Film and Director, while there were surprising but strong wins in the acting categories for Son of Saul's Rohrig Geza and 45 Years' Charlotte Rampling. The lists were long, so I've edited them to the top ten in each (Screenplay edited to include the ten highest-ranking original works and the ten highest adaptations), as only these ten will count toward the SOS Critics' Tally.
