...introduction of Jennifer Lawrence as Mariana, a teen whose mother’s affair forces her to grow up too fast. Lawrence has already received the Marcello Mastroianni Award for emerging actors at the Venice Film Festival—an honor previously given to fellow Arriaga actor Gael García Bernal—which her bracing performance richly deserves.

...directing a full-length film, a tale of fortunes won and lost in the world of Mexican soccer. In “Y tu mamá también,” Carlos Cuarón’s screenplay paired two sexually-charged teenagers—played by Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna—on a road-trip through Mexico alongside a more mature female companion from Spain. Eight years later, “Rudo y Cursi” reunites Luna, as goalie Beto, and García Bernal, as striker Tato, in a tragicomic...
