But whenever it does eventually push through, it'll be the makers of "Edward" who will be up onstage, receiving the top prize of the 30th Annual Circle Citations, from the country's Young Critics Circle .
"Edward" is a coming-of-age story about a boy, played by Louise Abuel, who spends a bulk of his teen years living in a hospital to take care of his ailing father. It doubles as a glimpse into the sorry state of our country’s public healthcare system --timely, given the pandemic. It was named YCC's best film this year for its stellar performances, as "its excellent use of the hospital space, where the setting becomes a kind of character, an animating presence."
