In a normal year, Madeleine Sims-Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli’s Violation would have been one of the most talked-about films at festivals an intimate, uncompromising revenge story that pushes the boundaries of genre as enthusiastically as it mashes the audience’s buttons. It would have screened to Vancouver International Film Festival audiences in movie theatres and absolutely pulverized them. (Sims-Fewer and Mancinelli won the Emerging Director Award at the 2020 Vancouver International Film Festival.)

Sometimes seeing something on screen that feels disturbingly real provides film with its only means to articulate the gravity of its narrative situations. In
Violation, Miriam (played by Co-writer and Co-director
Madeleine Sims-Fewer), is raped in her sleep by her brother-in-law while out on a weekend getaway at the family cabin. Facing enraged disbelief from her sister, who’s never seen her husband as anything other than an angel, Miriam finds herself in a position of complete solitude and must undertake the search for justice and healing on her own time and terms.
Now that the sun has finally set on 2020, the year that wouldn’t end, Taste of Cinema offers up our favorites from the exciting and upsetting year that was. To anyone of the opinion that 2020 was a mediocre year for movies, you just weren’t looking hard enough.

That said however, we do admit that the films that of the films that did see release, even just narrowing those titles down to a workable 20 titles for this list was no small feat – I cringe at the many worthy films that didn’t make the cut or that we weren’t able to screen in our region (and be sure to look at the Honourable Mentions section for more list-worthy titles).
