The Guardian (UK): Five-star review

The Playlist
Other than The Playlist's B+ review, everyone else seems to be raving about it. Palme D'or favorite at this point? Maybe. Sasha Stone from AwardsDaily thinks it's a shoo-in for Best Foreign Language Film at next
year's Oscars and said it's already one of the year's best films. It's about an elderly woman who has a stroke and the man who deeply cares about her who takes care of her no matter what. There apparently wasn't a dry eye at the Cannes premiere. If you can make even the critics cry, you know you did something right.
Lawless
John Hillcoat's "Lawless" has gotten more of a mixed response. Most of the positive reviews just say it's above-average entertainment whereas the negative reviews think the film is ultimately empty and without a point. We'll be able to decide for ourselves when it comes out on August 31st. I'm still excited for it.

Beasts of the Southern Wild
A movie that's apparently stealing the show and the hearts of France is Beasts of the Southern Wild, the debut film from 25-year-old Benh Zeitlin. I'll just let the reviews speak for themselves, they're very positive.

There's plenty more to come at Cannes and I'll surely be keeping my eye out. Stay tuned.
