Cannes: 9 of the 22 films in competition for the Palme has screened. Of those, 3 of the 9 seems to have solidly hit. {nm} goodvibe61 May 17, 15:46

Screen Daily only has 2 over a score of 3 and 4 are below a score of 2 but only 2 of the betting favorites has played so far {nm} Moviesnob May 17, 16:11

Favorites not yet screened: Hope (Hong-Jin, the early favorite); Fjord (Mungiu); and Minotaur (Zvyagintsev). {nm} goodvibe61 May 17, 18:01

The other 2 of the top 5 early betting line favorites that've screened: Fatherland and Parallel Tales (Farhadi), which didn't score well. {nm} goodvibe61 May 17, 18:03

Fatherland; by Pawlikowski starring Sandra Huller; All of a Sudden, by Hamaguchi (Drive My Car); and James Gray's Paper Tiger. goodvibe61 May 17, 17:31

Also Hope. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior May 17, 17:34

We're all anxiously awaiting word on Hope. Do you wish you were there Warrior? I know I always do. Like Venice; like Berlin and Telluride. {nm} goodvibe61 May 17, 18:07

I love the movies; i always yearn for it. i'm hoping that, when I have some more time (post retirement) I can do a couple of these. goodvibe61 May 17, 18:09

Lots of positive social media reactions. Nah, I'd rather wait until I can just go see these movies at a screening room. TheWeekendWarrior May 17, 18:09

Crowd control at Cannes is awful {nm} Moviesnob May 17, 19:38

Based on this write up from WOR, I'll be watching it!!! jonjon May 17, 19:09

Wasn't a favorite. Too genre {nm} Moviesnob May 17, 19:19

Well. Hope clearly got the biggest response Sunday night; but it seems to polarizing to have any chance at the Palme. Sure want to see it!! goodvibe61 May 18, 00:31
