Riske Business: Great Performances of 2013

This week, Patrick and I chatted about some of our favorite performances from the year in film that was 2013. If you’re noticing some surprising omissions it is because a) we’re saving our comments for our top 10 lists b) we have not yet seen all of the year-end releases at the online equivalent of press time (e.g. Her, The Wolf of Wall Street, Grudge Match - JK?).  Even so, here are at least 20 great performances worth calling out and recommending you see.
