December at the movies is not unlike a log jam. Distributors squeeze any film that has even the slimmest of Oscar potential onto at least a screen or two in New York and L.A. for a qualifying run. So please forgive for us for being curt, but we have a lot of titles to go through this month. The only other context you need is as follows: the smaller, more adult, and typically indie and foreign films on this list are in need of far more attention than the others, so if any of them sound of interest, we recommend you not waste time in seeing them if that's a possibility where you live. They won't last long in cinemas.
It’s looking like a solid finish for an already strong year cinematically. There’s but only a few titles left to be screened for critics before 2014 is put to bed, and then we have months of awards campaigning to get us through the early days of a new year. Make sure to chime in if we forgot any good films worth seeking out.
