Looking back on the best of 2015, we put together a collection of the best movies of 2015.
"Spotlight"
Rotten Tomatoes: 98%
"Spotlight" tells the story of the Pulitzer Prize winning investigation at the Boston Globe of allegations of sexual abuse within the Catholic church. What they uncover has greater implications that permanently alters the reputation of the Catholic Church. Its all-star cast features Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo and Stanley Tucci.
"Inside Out"
Rotten Tomatoes: 98%
It’s about growing up. And it will make you feel all the feels.
Riley’s brain is run by five emotions: Sadness, Anger, Disgust, Joy, and Fear, and when she moves across the country, her feelings get pretty bungled. It’s funny, it’s sad, it’s beautiful, and you will cry.
"Brooklyn"
Rotten Tomatoes: 98%
Brooklyn follows the life of Irish immigrant Eilis Lacey as she tries to make her way in America. It’s about the meaning of home and of love, and its poignancy will make it a hit with any audience.
"Room"
Rotten Tomatoes: 96%
After being held captive for his entire life with his mom (Brie Larson), 5 year old Jack experiences the outside world for the first time. An emotional drama, it explores the relationship and deep love that exists between mother and son. Brie Larson has received outstanding reviews and is the early favorite to win Best Actress at the 2016 Oscars.
"Trainwreck"
Rotten Tomatoes: 85%
The movie of the summer, Trainwreck will make you laugh so hard you’ll cry. Multiple times. It’s smart and feel-good, but it doesn’t feel like a rom-com, although it absolutely is. Thank god for Amy Schumer.
"Me and Earl and the Dying Girl"
Rotten Tomatoes: 82%
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is the movie adaptation of the popular young adult novel of the same name. But, don’t let the “young adult” label fool you, it’s a gem. It tells the story of Greg, a senior in high school, whose mom forces him to befriend his classmate, Rachel, after she is diagnosed with cancer. If you’re a sucker for witty lines, or stories about growing up, don’t miss this one. Also, Nick Offerman makes an appearance and arguably steals the show.
