...what did you really think about The Square, Animal Kingdom, The Eclipse and Fish Tank? Or did you really see them?

I agree with you on the foreign language films you cited, and some others unmentioned as well.

I found "Fish Tank" trite. I'd seen a very similar film not long before. It just seemed - tinear 13:44:10 04/28/11 (0)
like a seamy, squalid little film. Eclipse, sorry to say, looked silly. I don't believe in ghosts and find their being taken seriously.... well, silly. I will see it because of Ciaran.
Animal Kingdom was good, brutal entertainment, but certainly NOWHERE near the level of Mesrine. I did admire it's toughness, non-romantic portrayal of a vicious family. The Square I saw some time ago. Didn't impress me, but several people recently have mentioned it so I'll watch it this week, again.
Again, originality largely is absent from our English-language films: the weight of tradition, perhaps, is too heavy? The exciting, different films, like, "Let the Right One In," are not being made here. I forgot to mention, earlier, Russia as a trove of good film, also.
