DUBLIN FILM CRITICS CIRCLE DECLARES INSIDE OUT THE BEST FILM OF 2015


Prepare yourselves for some time-travelling with the 2015 Dublin Film Critics Circle award. What with precisely-calibrated awards season releases in important international territories like the UK and Ireland, a lot of one season's contenders must wait until the next to be recognised by a group like the DFCC, which sticks closely to its calendar release dates and pretty much dgaf about its North American counterparts. Good for them! They've made some excellent choices this year, including picking Inside Out as Best Film, showing some love for The Tribe and mentioning Peter Strickland for The Duke of Burgundy in their Best Director list. And there's a fucking heap of female-led movies in their top nine, with more female leads than male. Good job, Dublin critics! Have a look below:
