Been thinking about the best film I saw this year and I keep coming back to 'Fish Tank' and 'Winter's Bone'.

Both of which are bleak, realist portrayals of family existence in two geographically but in some ways very similar locals, both made with not a 'Star' in sight and made by outsiders.

My wife suggested my choice of these films might in small part be an echo of recent events such as the economic meltdown, 'Obama Letdown Syndrome' and various other Global events.

Could be, but they are also masterfully made and riveting films that drill straight to the heart of the disintegration of the family and systems of human/social interaction that we as human beings have been getting by on for a long long time.

Still a lot of non-English language films I loved during the year that deserve their place in the line up of greatness but at this point these two keep ringing true for me.
