Yes, it seems to fall more on the side of false positives than false negatives. While this is a safe bet, it is also less useful, since the main use case I can think for this is to help me pick up some movies from the plethora of available movies that exist in the world to maybe look for in Netflix etc. I mean, "Take This Waltz" (2012) is not what I'm after if I'm looking for films from Japan. Mildly annoying.
Sorry this is such a long list, but I watch a lot of films.
"Martha Marcy May Marlene" - a gentle exploration of someone broken after living with a cult
"Never Let Me Go" - A film you can push a lot of meaning into if you want to. I love the acting of Carey Mulligan
"Shame" - Michael Fassbender is amazing in this, as is Carey Mulligan
"Catfish" - an amazing documentary about people who lie on the Internet, but a gentle and kind version, not the obvious "OMG THESE PEOPLE ARE NUTTERS".
"End of Watch" - 'found footage' style police thing. I really liked it for not forcing a traditional plot and pacing on the audience.
"Margin Call" - financial collapse and amorality. Not many films show business in any kind of sensible way. While this movie probably doesn't it avoids most of the cliches other films make.
"Beasts of the Southern Wild" - I'm disappointed this missed out on awards.
"Take This Waltz" - Seth Rogan playing straight might be scary, but he's pretty good as the husband who's wife falls out of love with him. Sarah Silverman makes a surprisingly good appearance (I guess her bit at the end of the film makes it worth it). Directed by Sarah Polley who is, IMO, amazing.
