It has 78 on metacritic so it's overall good

It's also up to 77% on RT now.

Winners at Cannes:

 

Palme d’Or: “Anatomy of a Fall,” dir. Justine Triet

Grand Prix: “The Zone of Interest,” dir. Jonathan Glazer

Jury Prize: “Fallen Leaves,” dir. Aki Kaurismäki

Best Actress: Merve Dizdar, “About Dry Grasses”

Best Actor: Koji Yakusho, “Perfect Days”

Best Director: Tran Anh Hung, “The Pot au Feu”

Best Screenplay: Yûji Sakamoto, “Monster”

Camera d’Or: “Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell,” dir. Thien An Pham

Short Film Palme d’Or: “27,” dir. Flora Anna Buda

[EnigmaticAndroid]

So I guess Neon, A24, and Netflix are the big winners coming out of Cannes. Anatomy is an obvious push for Neon, A24 has their mega-acclaimed highbrow push for the year with Zone of Interest, and May December surprised and Netflix has not just a strong push, but a lifeline given how relatively shaky their slate seems to be this year.

Sandra Huller won at the end, despite not winning BA. I think she'll do very well with critics at the end of the year. Here for her first oscar nomination.

The Zone of Interest not winning the Palme d'Or

I'll have to tune in for Anatomy of a Fall 

[MAXIMO]

The way, Asia started slaying. 

The biggest shock was Best Actress not going to Sandra Huller, but that turkish actress who was so shocked.

I wanted The Zone of Interest to win the Palme, but I guess we have to wait to watch the actual winner.

Sandra Huller being in both the Palme d'Or and the Grand Prix, hope she gets her moment soon even though she didn't get Best Actress. 

it seemed like a pretty strong edition of Cannes this year overall.

Reupping this to say that Spiderverse deserves a Best Picture nom next year 

[Kylizzle]

Just saw Past Lives. I'm thinking this is more of an Aftersun than an EEAAO.

Oh it should win at least Best Animated Film, and that would be 2/2 for the saga.

Score nomination is unlikely since the music was giving royalty free.

I'll expect original screenplay and maybe lead actor.

I always like to keep an open mind but I just don't see Cillian Murphy winning Best Actor this year, sorry

 

[Kylizzle]

Past Lives can't even win best picture of the last six months? I know these aren't predictive for the Oscars but wow

I think Spider-Verse can snatch a BP nom at this rate

[Kylizzle]

Also Teo Yoo was way better than Matt Damon.

To me, it feels like HCA wanted to go all out for Spiderverse since they're aware that it actually getting into the Oscar's BP lineup is an uphill climb. Not that Past Lives wasn't liked.

 

Still a big day for Spiderverse, and there's proof that it can potentially run a passion-based campaign.

Glenn Howerton was fantastic in Blackberry, the oscar nom would be very much deserved. 

[Hector]

Kingsley Ben-Adir coming for the Best Actor Oscar nom playing Bob Marley:

 

 

[Tusk]

Gosling for BSA?!

[Green]

It seems like Robert Downey Jr could finally be an Oscar Winner. He's getting Oscar buzz   

 

 

And Ryan Gosling could get a nomination for Barbie
