Having seen three of the films (Labyrinth of Lies, Son of Saul & Theeb) which could all easily make the five final or be omitted and having read nothing but praise in relation to 5 of the others (Viva is the only unknown film to me) this is one of the most wide open selections ever.
Guessing the final 5 is just as difficult as trying to guessing the short-list from 80-odd films.
