The Woman in Black [4] is a fairly traditional Victorian haunter about a wandering spirit – that of a wronged woman – making life miserable for the living. Not a must-see, but good creepy fun.

[6] Psychopathology runs rampant on our movie screens but usually the focus is on the psychopath. We Need to Talk About Kevin [7] is about the people he leaves behind.
[9] A “trouser role” in opera is a male character can be performed by a woman pretending to be a man. Albert Nobbs [10] is about a woman who takes it a few steps further, determining to live her entire life as a member of the opposite sex.
[12] Initially it looks as if Certified Copy [13] is going to follow the familiar format: Two strangers spend several hours talking and walking through a picturesque setting. But questions of what’s real and what’s phony will dominate this fledgling relationship.
[15] Based on the real experiences of Kathryn Bolkovac, The Whistleblower [16] carries a big dose of moral outrage. The film isn’t easy watching, but Rachel Weisz’s performance gives the film a human and humane center.
