Shutter Island (2010) Scorsese's psychological mystery thriller set in an island hospital for the criminally insane shows that Leonardo De Caprio is one of the best actors of our day, and Scorsese one of the most highly skilled of directors. One problem I had with Inception was that, though it ostensibly took place in dreams, it was not really dreamlike. This is far more effective at creating a disorienting dreamlike world with subtle, wily trickery and discontinuities. Captivating, disturbing and beautiful from the first moment. 10/10
