"Gifted" - a sweet story and incredibly young actress, and a story that probes deeper than you'd expect into whether it's right to push a prodigy exclusively into what they do best.
Lion: even though you know how it's going to end, it really draws you in. The child actor in that one was superb also. A glimpse of the different value of life when there are an oppressively large number of poor people that the system can't handle.
"Gold" with Matthew McConaughey. A compelling human tale and a rags-to-riches roller-coaster ride. You can tell they worked on the script for years. Subtle twists and turns and foreshadowing.
"St. Vincent." It has heart, it's a good but predictable moral tale, and a great lineup of actors. Perfect role for Bill Murray.
