- DirectorJohn Patrick ShanleyEstrellasMeryl StreepPhilip Seymour HoffmanAmy AdamsEn 1964, el padre Flynn acoge bajo su tutela al primer alumno negro de un colegio católico. Pero cuando la hermana James comparte dudas sobre dicha relación con la conservadora hermana Aloysius, esta lo tomará como una batalla personal.This film blew me away with its layers of meaning in all of the actions of the characters. I still have no idea how to write such a film.
- DirectorJ BlakesonEstrellasGemma ArtertonEddie MarsanMartin CompstonLa hija de un hombre rico está cautiva en un apartamento abandonado por dos ex convictos que la secuestraron y retuvieron su rescate a cambio del dinero de su padre.The Disappearance of Alice Creed is still fresh in my mind because I saw it just a week ago, but it has quickly climbed all of my "best" lists. The characters are just so well crafted in this thriller that by the end it becomes about them and not the plot, and I am still blown away by it everytime I try to think about how he wrote it.
- DirectorAdrienne ShellyEstrellasKeri RussellNathan FillionJeremy SistoJenna es una camarera embarazada e infelizmente casada. Conoce a un recién llegado a su ciudad y entabla una improbable relación como último intento de felicidad.Cleverly walks the line between drama and comedy, and succesfully makes dark subject matter funny without losing its heart. Not an easy task to do at all.
- DirectorJoe WrightEstrellasKeira KnightleyJames McAvoyBrenda BlethynLa escritora novata de 13 años cambia el curso de varias vidas cuando acusa al amante de su hermana de un crimen que no ha cometido.After reading the book, I had no idea how to turn it into a film. After watching the film, I realized he took the book almost word-for-word and somehow made it into a comprehensible masterpiece, but I still have no idea how.
- DirectorWoody AllenEstrellasScarlett JohanssonJonathan Rhys MeyersEmily MortimerEn un punto de inflexión en su vida, un ex jugador de tenis se enamora de una actriz que está por casualidad saliendo con su amigo y que pronto será su cuñado.Woody Allen is always very great at adding meaning to all the elements in his story, and in this story he was particularly great at adding a little bit of comedy to his dark murder mystery drama.
- DirectorSam MendesEstrellasLeonardo DiCaprioKate WinsletChristopher FitzgeraldUna joven pareja que vive en un suburbio de Connecticut a mediados de la década de 1950 lucha por aceptar sus problemas personales mientras intenta criar a sus dos hijos.Revolutionary Road accurately painted a time, but even better, painted characters that are relevant in today's time.
- DirectorSpike JonzeEstrellasNicolas CageMeryl StreepChris CooperUn guionista se desespera cuando intenta y no puede adaptar una obra de Susan Orlean a la pantalla.This should have been one of those stories that you just can't adapt, but Charlie Kaufman did it. But I also never attempt to understand the genius of Kaufman.
- DirectorMichel GondryEstrellasJim CarreyKate WinsletTom WilkinsonCuando su relación se vuelve amarga, una pareja se somete a un procedimiento médico para borrarse mutuamente sus recuerdos.Again it's the genius of Charlie Kaufman, here he took a crazy story but made it feel down-to-Earth enough so we could enjoy it.
- DirectorMarc WebbEstrellasZooey DeschanelJoseph Gordon-LevittGeoffrey ArendUna comedia romántica sobre una mujer que no cree que el verdadero amor exista, y el joven que se enamora de ella.I will admit that I didn't get it at first, but the very clever twist with Zooey Deschanel's character makes this is a very well written film.
- DirectorJason ReitmanEstrellasAaron EckhartCameron BrightMaria BelloEsta comedia satírica sigue las maquinaciones del portavoz principal de Big Tobacco, Nick Naylor, quien habla a favor de los cigarrillos mientras trata de seguir siendo un modelo a seguir para su hijo de doce años.Thank You for Smoking is one of the best satires ever. They pointed out the absurdity to all the sides and did it with some very smart humour. They also cleverly did it through creating one very good character that we could just follow - he was smart, sarcastic, funny, but also human.
- DirectorGus Van SantEstrellasSean PennJosh BrolinEmile HirschLa historia de Harvey Milk y su lucha como activista por los derechos de los homosexuales, y quién se convirtió en el primer oficial electo de California públicamente gay.Milk was a powerful film, because of how personal the screenwriter, Dustin Lance Black, made it, but at the same time he kept true to the story and never inserted himself into it.
- DirectorMarc ForsterEstrellasWill FerrellEmma ThompsonDustin HoffmanUna escritora se pregunta cómo matar a su personaje, y Harold Crick comienza a oír su voz en su cabeza y se da cuenta de que tiene los días contados.Stranger Than Fiction walked that fine line between fiction and absurdity, and created meaningful characters, and gave us just a fun comedy.
- DirectorKenneth LonerganEstrellasLaura LinneyMatthew BroderickAmy RyanLa vida de una madre soltera se ve sumida en el caos cuando su hermano pequeño, que pasa por dificultades y al que apenas ve, regresa a la ciudad.The true art of You Can Count on Me was creating real, accessible but flawed characters that were each able to express and exert emotion.
- DirectorLee Toland KriegerEstrellasAdam ScottBrittany SnowAlex FrostUn hombre intenta advertir a su hermano que se aleje de la nueva novia que trae a casa durante el Día de Acción de Gracias, pero termina enamorándose de ella en el proceso.A great example of how to write a dysfunctional family dramedy. The drama was honest, the comedy funny and touching, and the actors didn't have to carry everything through dialogue alone but also their actions.
- DirectorCharles Herman-WurmfeldEstrellasJennifer WestfeldtHeather JuergensenTovah FeldshuhUna mujer que busca al hombre perfecto, en cambio, descubre a la mujer perfecta.A great example of how to write a romantic comedy because it's accessible, smart, funny and all the characters are likable.
