Full list is below, but you'll see that my absolute favorites were YOSSI and TAKE THIS WALTZ. That latter of course is my favorite EVAHHH OMG. Should I shut up about it for now? Will I ever?
It was a fine year for me and Tribeca. I saw 17 of the 19 movies I planned. I ran out of steam at the end, which is none too surprising considering the challenge of working full time, then movies on nights and weekends, plus a few extra-curriculars.
The year belonged to Alex Karpovsky, who directed Rubberneck, starred in Supporting Characters, and had a guest-starring role on Girls premiering just before Tribeca.
Notable for me was the fact that I really disliked the film that won the Audience Award. Called ANY DAY NOW. This almost never happens. Jury awards - sure. That's a crapshoot, c'mon. But the audience? I mean. That's me. Who am I if not the audience. If anything, I typically find an autience award winner good but overrated. At worst. But this one? Nearly walked out. I found it sappy and its characters painfully one-dimensional. I don't begrudge anyone for liking it, because there's no denying it had a good heart.
