Many stabs at a charming and funny rom-com do not add up to one coherent film. Accomplished director Daniel Burman should have known better. Directed by Daniel Burman, written by Daniel Burman and Sergio Dubcovsky in Argentina, .All In. had its international premier at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York in April of 2012. Filmed the hip Federal District of Buenos Aires, Argentina, the slick mis-en-scene of this film fails to make up for the mish-mash of a plot.

The Tribeca Film Festival awards ceremony took place on Thursday, and the controversial Cuban film "Una Noche" turned out to be the toast of the town. Though "War Witch" won the award for Best Narrative Feature and Rachel Mwanza was named Best Actress, "Una Noche" became the breakout story of the festival after two of its actors disappeared en route to New York.
Director Lucy Mulloy, cinematographers Trevor Forrest and Shlomo Godder were honored for their work on the film. Actors Dariel Arrechada and Jaiver Nunez Florian both won Best Actor in a Narrative Feature.
Other big winners include Nisha Pahuja's "The World Before Her" for Best Documentary Feature, Bryan Buckley's "Asad" for Best Narrative Short and Frederic Golding's "On the Mat" for Best Feature Film in the festival's online competition.
