CRITICAL RESPONSE
Various outlets continue to collate and crunch the year's critical response to the films that were released in 2011. Three more of those were published this past week...The Tree of Life continues to do well with the critics and I still think that translates into Best Picture and (perhaps) Best Director nominations for the film that refer to as the only unofficial film of Telluride #37 (2010). as you may recall, it was screened privately in Telluride for (reportedly) Fox Searchlight and Sony Pictures Classics. Fox Searchlight picked it up.
Here are the three new critic's compilations:
From Movie City News (where the top five are Tree of Life, Descendants, Artist, Drive and A Separation):
