Had a chance to catch these with some friends yesterday:
Sing - the winner, more cute than revolutionary, a great depiction of the friendship of schoolyard friends, the school choir, and revenge against a bullying teacher
Silent Nights - long, morally-ambiguous, starts nowhere / ends nowhere kind of story about a Danish do-gooder and a Ghanian visitor (moocher? grifter? survivor?)
Enemies Within - Morality 101, long on questions, short on characters, WHO ARE YOU?
Timecode - delightful, ecstatic, it bursts from its structure in delight, I will never think about parking lot attendants the same way
La Femme et Le TGV - another quirky, structured tale that leaps to life, based on a true story about a woman who waves a flag every day at the TGV as it passes by her house, and then she and the driver start to correspond...
This was, indeed, a much more interesting set of films than the animateds.
