"Post Tenebras Lux" was booed when it premiered at Cannes last year. It went on to earn Carlos Reygadas the "Best Director" award. The unofficial awards of the Criticwire Network might go somewhat similarly.

Matteo Garrone first became known to many of us when his 2008 film "Gomorrah" won the Grand Prix at Cannes. His next film, "Reality," which opens in New York today and Los Angeles next week, achieved the same feat, but has nonetheless proved itself to be somewhat divisive; the grade snapshot shows twice as many C's and half as many D's as A's. Critics agree on a handful of elements, particularly Alexandre Desplat's score and the strength of Aniello Arena's performance as Luciano, a newlywed who attempts to appear on the Italian version of "Big Brother" only to see his dreams and delusions consume him. Many of the differences, however, are in the preference of what we are told and how it is told to us. These questions of style versus substance run much deeper than a pull quote, so click on the name of an outlet to be linked to the full review, and keep an eye on the Criticwire page for "Reality."PRO: It makes a good companion piece with a great film!

“Like Someone In Love,” the latest film from director Abbas Kiarostami, has had a bumpy path to recognition. When it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last May, it garnered mostly mixed-to-negative reviews. Writing for The Guardian, Peter Bradshaw called it “frustrating” and stated that the film ends right when the drama gets interesting. Variety's Guy Lodge called it a “more austere and less intellectual” twin to Kiarostami’s previous film, “Certified Copy.”  So far, so not so good.
