- Phoenix (II) (2014, Germany) by Chr. Petzold - watched in a non-linear way, Aug 7-8
- Reaching For The Moon (2013) - was able to watch only with lots of skipping. A weak movie, but it has two meaningful/comforting (for me) scenes.
- Welcome to Me (2015, USA) with Kristen Wiig, May 13. A one-trick pony, the screenplay is too formula-driven; an insult to the viewers' intelligence.
- (f) 52 Tuesdays (2013, Australia, dir. Sophie Hyde) - non-perfect, but "worked" for me, was nurturing for the soul
- (TV) Penny Dreadful, season 2, May4 +the next 2 episodes. Turned into a disaster. Disrespects the audience' intelligence.
- (f) (TV/web series) LSB The Series, season 2 (somewhere in April-beginning of May)
- (TV) Penny Dreadful, season 1, Apr 4 — the very last scene of the last episode is most useful, but in the context of havign seen the whole season of course

- (f) Appropriate Behavior (2014, USA), Jan 19
- (TV) Broadchurch (UK) - Olivia Colman! - in 1 day, all 10 episodes that were available, and continued watching new ones, but they turned out to be a disappointment.

- Violette (2013), Sept 14 (fully). The movie is absorbing (watched all 2.12 straight), but shallow. Also, the pauses weren't long enough to be able to enjoy Devos' comedic twitching - everything there is about dynamic storytelling, huh.

- Jeune & Jolie (2013, F. Ozon)
- Sara Prefers to Run / Sarah préfère la course (2013)
- Has individuality & some fun/great scenes, but filmmaking/script is too flawed
- Novo (2002, Jean-Pierre Limosin; Christophe Honoré as a co-writer), watched in a non-linear way
