IFFR 2 (Feature Films)

Since there are lots of descriptions of the movies on the Internet, I decided to only rank the movies I have seen from excellent to bad and maybe say a few words about it if necessary.

Excellent:
Eyes Wide Open about homosexuality between orthodox jews (a very controversial subject made credible)
J'ai tué ma mère
don't worry the mother was only killed imaginary. The fights between mother and son are great (how wonderful when everything is screamed in French)
Tales from the Golden Age absurdity in the Romania of Ceausescu but not in a Kafkaesque style, but pure hilarious.

Good:
Zero
Skeletons
Slice surprising movie, certainly at the end
Twisted Roots
My Queen Karo
Bonded Parallels all about heritage

Average:
Zarte Parasiten
Piggies
Los Condenados
Mother
Rapt
Vaho
Down Terrace
Women Without Men
Shirley Adams
Les signes vitaux

Boring:
El pasante
Sailor of Hearts I fell asleep in the middle of the movie.

Bad:
The Ape I hate movies where nothing happens...
