Jaglom is an acquired taste, but fans and detractors alike will be keen to learn that his latest is less self-referential and less self-reverential than past offerings.

Reviews for Festival in Cannes
If [Jaglom's] latest effort is not the director at his most sparkling, some of its repartee is still worth hearing.
03/08/02
A witty, trenchant, wildly unsentimental but flawed look at the ins and outs of modern moviemaking.
04/19/02
The experience of going to a film festival is a rewarding one; the experiencing of sampling one through this movie is not.
03/05/02
Top CriticThe kind of sweet-and-sour insider movie that film buffs will eat up like so much gelati.
04/14/02
At its best ... Festival in Cannes bubbles with the excitement of the festival in Cannes.
04/25/02
For all the wit and hoopla, Festival In Cannes offers rare insight into the structure of relationships.
03/29/02
This isn't a terrible film by any means, but it's also far from being a realized work.
03/09/02
Made to be Jaglomized is the Cannes Film Festival, the annual Riviera spree of flesh, buzz, blab and money. The charming result is Festival in Cannes.
04/05/02
It's quite an achievement to set and shoot a movie at the Cannes Film Festival and yet fail to capture its visual appeal or its atmosphere.
03/08/02
Top Critic[Jaglom] creates an engaging insider's world of enthusiastically entertaining characters and absorbing situations.
03/28/02
A picture as charmingly insubstantial as the world it invokes.
07/12/02
Top CriticThe cast is so low-wattage that none of the characters comes off as big ... and the setting remains indistinct.
05/30/02
If Festival in Cannes nails hard- boiled Hollywood argot with a bracingly nasty accuracy, much about the film, including some of its casting, is frustratingly unconvincing.
03/07/02
Top CriticA wildly erratic drama with sequences that make you wince in embarrassment and others, thanks to the actors, that are quite touching.
01/16/02
Top CriticA rambling ensemble piece with loosely connected characters and plots that never quite gel.
03/29/02
Top CriticThose outside show business will enjoy a close look at people they don't really want to know.
03/08/02
One of [Jaglom's] better efforts -- a wry and sometime bitter movie about love.
04/12/02
Top CriticLike most of Jaglom's films, some of it is honestly affecting, but more of it seems contrived and secondhand.
