2011 Cannes Critics’ Panel: Day 1 – Woody Allen’s Midnight In Paris

Date:

With many journalists making yesterday’s Wednesday their travel day to the Cannes, the festival kicked off with a pair of screenings for Woody Allen’s continued foray into Europe, this time France. While this is no Vicky Cristina Barcelona, a good number of our critics gave favorable ratings for the comedy that takes place in the city of lights setting. Later int the day, Julia Leigh’s much anticipated Sleeping Beauty received an early press screening and some grades trickled in for this film as well —- it appears to be a like it/hate it type of response so far. Click the grid below to see what a good portion of our critics thought.
