Critics at Cannes/Cannes Competition Reviews 2/Out of Competition Films/Master Teaser

Good Morning!

Lots of reviews of films from Cannes in today's post as well as the latest critical consensus via Ioncinema's critic's panel.

CRITICS AT CANNES

More than halfway through and here is oncinema's critic's panel:
http://www.ioncinema.com/news/cannes-critics-panel-day-7-len-loachs-the-angels-share

The top five at this point:
1) Amour
2) Beyond the Hills
3) Rust and Bone
3) You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet (tie)
5) Moonrise Kingdom

As I post this morning, crtitics are beginning to post and evaluate "The Paperboy, "Post Tenebrus Lux" "Angel's Share" and "Holy Motors".  I'll have links to reviews for them in Sunday morning's regularly scheduled post.

I'll also have breaking news as it becomes available as the festival draws to a close and awards are presented.
