Some nice ideas and charm, but a complete mess. Feels like a mix of Amelie and the Tintin books. An excellently French attitude to on-screen nudity, though.

American Hustle (2013)
Great performances, lots of energy, but nothing particularly original or surprising and unravels/deflates in the last third.
Great cameo by De Niro and small role from Louis CK.

12 Years a Slave (2013)
A harrowing film, full of great performances. The juxtaposition of beautiful natural images and ugly human nature is striking. The film has the usual "based closely on a true story" issues of not much thematic depth or re-watch value, but it is very powerful.
