Summer is in its waning days, but the year of 2013 is far from over. For those on an academic or cinematic calendar, the year is just beginning. Labor Day is a distant memory, and in two days, so will be the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival. This is the time when many critics will begin to suggest Oscar attention in their reviews.
As a matter of principle, I don’t suggest where Oscar should cast his gaze until after the nominations have been formally announced; by that point, it’s more of a political guessing game than an acknowledgment of worthy achievement. However, having said that, I can attest that The Family will hold a spot of my list of 2013’s best movies.
Like The Artist, The Family is an English-language French film, cast with actors well-known in their native countries, and has smart musical choices that notably enhance the story.
