  5. 'Girl Rising': Documentary's message obvious and important ★★ 1/2

    From Sierra Leone, from Peru, from Nepal and elsewhere, the nine lives at the heart of "Girl Rising" are impossible to ignore. This consciousness-raising documentary from filmmaker Richard E. Robbins risks making the harsh conditions these girls have conquered a little too poetically photogenic. The movie's color palette is so gorgeous, you may find yourself spacing out on the beauty rather than focusing on the stories.

  11. For Baltasar Kormakur, an extreme route to the Oscar shortlist

    Baltasar Kormakur has had one strange career. After starting out as an actor in his native Iceland in the mid-1990s, he soon added directing to his dossier. He began with small Icelandic-language slacker films like &ldquo;101 Reykjavik,&rdquo; segued to slightly bigger (but still pretty small) thrillers like &ldquo;The Sea&rdquo; and &ldquo;Jar City&rdquo; and eventually made the jump to English-language Hollywood flicks like the recent action hit &ldquo;Contraband,&rdquo; a remake of an Icelandic movie Kormakur starred in.
