2016 was a strange year for films, evidenced by the fact that it's taken me until February to digest. It was a year that started solid, fell into a cavernous midseason lull, and then frantically attempted to make up ground in the final two months. It was a year that made you work to find the proverbial "diamonds in the rough" of the mainstream Box Office. It was also a year that had many, including myself, contemplating what actually makes a film, a film. But mostly, it was a year that turned out to be.. OK.
