In the wake of a disappointing
2014, 2015 has risen to startling creative heights. And while nothing this past summer could
compete with the heavy-metal velocity of “Mad Max: Fury Road,” there were other
triumphs, including the tender, candy-colored “Inside Out” and a parcel of
brilliant indies (“Testament of Youth,” “Dope,” “Infinitely Polar Bear,” etc.).
So here they are the movies of summer 2015, ranked from
best to worst (in my humble opinion).
