Now that the Cannes Film Festival has come to a close, we can take a breath and look at just how the films that played In Competition at the fest were received. Screen Daily came up with a handy graph that you can see in full after the jump, but keep in mind…this isn’t the be all/end all in terms of how the flicks did. A lot of films have a higher average on the chart than the actual reviews would suggest, so simply remember this is a small gathering of critics. Just something to chew on as you take a gander at it. Anyhow, give it a look and see what you think…

Well, looks like it’s gonna be a crappy year ahead.

This hardly shows the quality of the rest of the year…

This is going to be a tricky year indeed but the treat will be worth it.

Just like every year…

According to this chart, both Mud and On the Road seem to have gotten a better reception than I was lead to believe (and Lawless, Holy Motors, and Cosmopolis seem to have gotten worse). In any case, I’ll probably end up seeing them all before the year is over. Also, it’s always cool to see movies like Love pop onto the awards radar from out of nowhere, and I’m more excited than ever to see Killing Them Softly.

Indeed, it’s not perfect.
Likewise, as you might expect.
