The Associated Press film writer Jake Coyle also includes Inside Llewyn Davis among the Top 10 Movies of the Year. "In surveying the year at the movies, the topography is rich," writes Coyle. "[A]mbitious films gathered in number as the year went on, and many began calling 2013 a historically excellent year for film, after all."
