V tem drugem mesečniku bi izpostavil estonsko dramo Razred, simpatično irsko dramo Run & Jump, čudovito art koprodukcijo Zgodbe, ki se jih spominjamo, sodelovanje talentiranega J.C. Chandorja in veterana Roberta Redforda v lanskoletnem hitu Vse je izgubljeno, malce starejšo južnoafriško-nemško koprodukcijo Life, Above All in spregledano komično dramo Spika Leeja Red Hook Summer.

Pozabite na Imdb oceno. Zgodba od gledalca sicer zahteva nekaj potrpljenja, ki je poplačano z zelo zanimivim preobratom. In med tem ko testirate svojo potrpežljivost, lahko uživate v vrhunskem nastopu Clarka Petersa.
