Aquel No Era Yo (That Wasn't Me)
Far and away the worst of the nominees. Obvious.
Avant Que De Tout Perdre (Just before Losing Everything)
A little slow to get moving, but ultimately engaging. Ratchets up the tension well. Effective glimpse into a terrible episode of family drama.
Helium
It was a little schmaltzy, but I'll be damned if I didn't tear up. The zeppelin effects were a little weak (an understandable byproduct of a limited budget), but the performances of the three principle cast members, especially Casper Crump, were very strong. A cute, emotionally involving story set against a depressing situation.
Pitääkö Mun Kaikki Hoitaa? (Do I Have to Take Care of Everything?)
Very Scandinavian. Very funny. Sure, it was lighter than the rest of these entrants, but it was definitely the most fun.
The Voorman Problem
Martin Freeman and Tom Hollander get to chew on some great dialogue. Clever. Wickedly funny. It's available here
. In my mind, this one is the class of the category.
