Or any other year.

Perhaps for you personally this work of art wove it's way into the Zeitgeist through which you view the world around you and so yes this very well may be the "Best Film Of This Year" for you or until another best film that you have yet to see opens.

Declaring art as Best or Worst, especially film is meaningless.

I'd disagree. Of course, it is pointless to pick a film that is marginal, - tinear 07:45:55 03/05/12 (0)

I think it is possible to rank films in such categories as editing, cinematography, writing, direction, and quality among other films, overall. Some years, I'll grant there are so many of excellence that indeed it is all but meaningless to attempt to separate (uh huh) them. Not this year. "A Separation," in this very weak year, was clearly the superior film in wide release.
