"Margaret" by Kenneth Lonergan (USA, 2011) won Critics Prize (FIPRESCI prize) at Vienna International Festival Festival , Vienna (Viennale, Austria, October 25 – November 7, 2012). Motivation: "Evoking some of the massive novels of the late 19th and early 20th century by writers such as Zola and Dreiser, Kenneth Lonergan's masterpiece captures the zeitgeist of Manhattan circa 2003 [that is, in the recent aftermath of the decimation of the World Trade Center and roughly 3,000 people on September 11, 2001] with precision and insight, using its broad cast of flawed characters as microscopes as well as telescopes trained on our conflicted as well as troubled sensibilities." Jury: Jonathan Rosenbaum, USA (jonathanrosenbaum.com), Diego Brodersen, Argentina ("El Amante Cine Magazine", "Pagina 12"), Victoria Smirnova Mayzel, Russia ("Art of Cinema Film Magazine"), Alexandra Zawia ("film").
