Enjoyed the festival coverage. Two of my faves were both coming of age stories as well: Sujo and In the Summers. The first was about growing up in rural Mexico in the shadow of the drug cartels, and the second is the story of a "visitation Dad" and his summers with his daughters (played at different ages by different young actresses). The themes were universal and resonated with me although my childhood was nothing like those depicted in these films.

I wanted to catch both of those, too. But I'm sure I'll get another chance.
