Slumdog Millionaire (2008)
4/5
An important step in Danny Boyle's career and a risk that will end up rewarded. It certainly isn't conventional, that's for sure. Echoes of City of God resonate throughout the film, though Boyle's slum is much more personable. Still, there is something distant about the film which often kept me on the outside; the film works like a fairy tale, and though the story is magical and charming when it comes together, it isn't relatable. For what it is, though, the film succeeds; it has a pulse, relaying its story with never a dull moment or an unnecessary one. Original, and certainly one of the year's best.
