- 103 min
- 12
- Directed by: Icíar Bollaín
- Written by: Paul Laverty
- Cast: Luis Tosar, Gael García Bernal, Juan Carlos Aduviri, Karra Elejalde, Raúl Arévalo
Film director Sebastian (Bernal, bland) arrives in Bolivia to make an epic on the life of Columbus, but is so focused on history that he fails to appreciate present injustices. Laverty and Bolain's well-intentioned drama is heavy-handed, but there are enough touching moments to make it worthwhile.

The Odd Life of Timothy Green
- 2012
- US
- 105 min
- U
- Directed by: Peter Hedges
- Written by: Peter Hedges
- Cast: Jennifer Garner, Joel Edgerton, CJ Adams
Infertile parents Cindy (Garner) and Jim (Edgerton) are surprised when a mud-covered 10-year-old boy appears at their house, claiming them as his mum and dad. This Disney-style fairytale is well-meaning but too sentimental and contrived, and the combination of sensitive adult themes and family-friendly style seems misguided.
