I disagree. They're set a decade ago, and that isn't a trivial amount of time (unlike last years The Social Network and 127 Hours which were set only a couple years in the past). Plus they are both not only set in the past but focused on specific past events.

They may not be set far in the past but they are strongly set in the "not now."
