2011 Cannes Critics’ Panel: Day 6 – Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life

Date:

It has been in the works since the last 70’s, and was very close to making last year’s line-up but producers mention that the film just wasn’t quite ready, so the most anticipated film at this year’s Cannes has landed…and according to the panel, depending on who you ask, it may or may not be Terrence Malick’s greatest achievement. Here’s a partial set of grades for The Tree of Life and an equal amount of first reactions to Bonello’s L’apollonide (Souvenirs de la maison close) appears to have played well to French critics but was pretty much slammed by the international critics.
