Aquí Y Allá Leads Cannes Critics Week Winners

You might not know it from the blinding, white-hot happenings du jour, but the Cannes Film Festival has begun winding down its 2012 iteration with awards for its Critics Week sidebar. Few if any will likely come to a theater near you in the near future, but if Cannes completism is your thing, I am nothing if not obliging. Read on for the winners, and congrats to all.
