The Filmspotting New Year’s ‘Fix’ show has featured some memorable battles over the years (“Wolf of Wall Street” v “American Hustle” in 2015; “Hateful 8” v “The Revenant” in 2016), but the 2017 edition is a friendlier affair, with positive reviews of recent releases from Jim Jarmusch (“Paterson”) and Denzel Washington (“Fences”).
