What Film Would Win If Psychologists Gave Out Academy Awards?
The decision to add selected psychologically relevant films to PsycCRITIQUES (a practice introduced by E. G. Boring, the first editor of Contemporary Psychology) has been widely applauded, and many readers report they read the film reviews before turning to the more pedestrian reviews of books.Some of the films that have been (or will be) reviewed in PsycCRITIQUES include The Secret in Their Eyes, Solitary Man, Black Swan, Peacock, Inception, The Social Network,Life During Wartime, Temple Grandin, Skin and The Kids Are All Right.
If you were organizing awards for psychologically relevant films, which movies would you nominate?
