The best films in 2011
Award race this year is gaining its momentum and one of its first ten best films of 2011 called the National Board of Review USA (The National Board of Review of Motion Pictures). The favorites of the critics were not only one of the leaders of hire, but also unrecognized masterpieces of this year, which will appear in Russia only in the next year. Judging by the reviews of those who have watched these films, we can say for sure - they're the best. No "green lights" and painfully boring "Pirates of the Caribbean" (no offense to Johnny Depp, but it really is time to fasten with this "soap opera"), and they are not suitable to hold a candle. Still, after some filmmakers made films of the top ten according to the National Board of Review USA! Well, okay, now, you do know their names.
