Leyla Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) THR is also super enthusiastic! http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movie/foxcatcher/review/705537 From the beginning, you can’t take your eyes off of Carell; as if by some secret alchemy, the actor makes you believe that his character is an entirely uncharismatic man while delivering a completely charismatic performance. The combination of his thin, reedy voice with frequent heavy silences and odd vocal pacing is thoroughly unnerving. He is so socially maladroit that no one would tolerate him but for his wealth and status, although his speech habits command attention by virtue of their simple weirdness. I really hope Carrell can win here!!! Edited May 19, 2014 by Tauriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Foxcatcher is my most anticipated Oscar hopeful, this film looks amazing. I also love Bennett Miller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyla Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) Viggo's movie gets amazing scores (lol Im still mad at him criticising PJ tho ) Cotillard gets raves & there I hoped Julianne can win Edited May 20, 2014 by Tauriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The Dardennes are predictably getting raves. They would be have the palms in the bag if this wouldn't be their third. No one has ever won one. (And frankly, I thought Haneke would get his third before the Dardennea would) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Films Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Lost river (how to catch a monster) is getting terrible reviews. 5 negative, 0 positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Yikes. Too bad, it sounded very promising. I think I'll see it anyway, though, because it seems interesting and ambitious even if it's a failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracygee Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 The Search is getting a bad reception, it looks like. I expect Godard to be divisive today as well. Not sure that there's really much most everyone likes this year beyond Two Days, One Night and Winter Sleep so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Dolan's getting raves :wub:As for the search, I heard that Haz rushed the cut to get it ready for Cannes and I've heard that it has a good film underneath it. A new cut will probably be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Literally nothing about The Search sounds appealing or good to me, there are few kinds of films that make me want to throw up more than overwrought Important Dramas. So I don't know how much it could possibly be improved. It appears that Hazanavicius took entirely the wrong message from The Artist's success, which is unfortunate.

riczhang Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Dolan winning the Palme will be something else. I don't think it will happen even though the reviews are good.It certainly puts him into contention with the Dardennes and Ceylan. He'll definitely win something and I hazard that it'll be a bigger prize like Prix de Jury or the Palme as corollary seems more likely for the actress prize. He'll have his stans on the committee. In the end I think the jury will be pretty evenly split and whoever Campion wants will be who gets it in the end IMO. Just let me hope until Saturday. But if he wins this will be unprecedented.

He makes comedies and this one comedy hit a nerve with old farts at the AMPAS who gave him an Oscar. He is a victim of undeserved success.

riczhang Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Palme is definitely a hard call this year. This definitely hasn't been like previous years where films like Blue or Amour were obviously gonna hit it big. And we still have Sil Maria by Assayas to add to the mess tomorrow.

TLK Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Don't forget Zvyagintsev's Leviathan . The movie has screened for buyers and there is a lot of buzz around it. Jake Howell of MCN tweeted that Leviathan is the best movie in the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyla Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) c'mon homie! I have faith in u Andrey! (& part of it was filmed in a town near me so ) found some tweets (lol what controversy this man is talking about tho. Everyone here faced corruption in some way or another whats to fight about) johnnyor @johnnyor Zvyagintsev's film @leviathan is AMAZING! If it wins the Palme d'or it will kick off a storm of controversy in Russia. peter bognar @bugi1 · Leviathan is a devastating symphony on the limitless abuse of power of local kingpins in current Russia backed by a superb ensemble cast. Joan Font @Joan_LF · 23m Dans mon palmarès il y aurait dans le désordre : Timbuktu, Winter Sleep, YSL, Le Dardenne, Léviathan, #Mommy . It was bought for the UK btw Cannes: Curzon takes Competition title Leviathan for UK & lol concidence is that's the word of the day on dictionary.com http://dictionary.reference.com/wordoftheday/archive/2014/05/22.html Edited May 22, 2014 by Tauriel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
