But as for Indies: At least there was a really fucking great animated short by vewn called
Twins In Paradise
Granted, it's also a bleak glimpse into the abyss that is real life, but executed in a really artsy way and with a kickass original soundtrack. Don't know if shorts qualify for this thread. But this probably the most blown away I was by anything resembling a movie that came out this year. The final season of BoJack too of course, but that's something for another thread.
