 "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."
-- Todd Anthony, SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL
"If [Jaglom's] latest effort is not the director at his most sparkling, some of its repartee is still worth hearing."
-- Rod Armstrong, REEL.COM
"A witty, trenchant, wildly unsentimental but flawed look at the ins and outs of modern moviemaking."
-- Joe Baltake, SACRAMENTO BEE
"The kind of sweet-and-sour insider movie that film buffs will eat up like so much gelati."
-- Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE
"For all the wit and hoopla, Festival In Cannes offers rare insight into the structure of relationships."
-- Liz Braun, JAM! MOVIES
 "This isn't a terrible film by any means, but it's also far from being a realized work."
-- Manohla Dargis, L.A. WEEKLY
"[Jaglom] creates an engaging insider's world of enthusiastically entertaining characters and absorbing situations."
-- Blake French, FILMCRITIC.COM
"An amused indictment of Jaglom's own profession."
-- Andy Klein, NEW TIMES
"The actors are simply too good, and the story too intriguing, for technical flaws to get in the way."
-- Joe Leydon, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
"Jaglom ... put[s] the audience in the privileged position of eavesdropping on his characters"
-- Philip Martin, ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE
"Self-congratulatory, misguided, and ill-informed, if nonetheless compulsively watchable."
-- Joe McGovern, MATINEE MAGAZINE
"Jaglom offers the none-too-original premise that everyone involved with moviemaking is a con artist and a liar."
-- Sean Means, SALT LAKE TRIBUNE
"While easier to sit through than most of Jaglom's self-conscious and gratingly irritating films, it's still tainted by cliches, painful improbability and murky points."
-- Paula Nechak, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER

"At its best ... Festival in Cannes bubbles with the excitement of the festival in Cannes."
-- Jay Boyar, ORLANDO SENTINEL
"The talk-heavy film plays like one of Robert Altman’s lesser works."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"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."
-- David Elliott, SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE
"The cast is so low-wattage that none of the characters comes off as big ... and the setting remains indistinct."
-- Chris Hewitt, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
"The touch is generally light enough and the performances, for the most part, credible."
-- Shawn Levy, OREGONIAN
"Jaunty fun, with its celeb-strewn backdrop well used."
-- Moira MacDonald, SEATTLE TIMES
"This is one of Jaglom's most accessible and genuinely enjoyable films."
-- Maitland McDonagh, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
"...bright, intelligent, and humanly funny film."
-- Rob McKinnon, WATCHINGMOVIES.COM
"The seaside splendor and shallow, beautiful people are nice to look at while you wait for the story to get going."
-- Karina Montgomery, CINERINA
"I’ve always dreamed of attending Cannes, but after seeing this film, it’s not that big a deal."
-- John A. Nesbit, CULTUREDOSE.NET

"The experience of going to a film festival is a rewarding one; the experiencing of sampling one through this movie is not."
-- James Berardinelli, JAMES BERARDINELLI'S REELVIEWS
"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."
-- Jonathan Foreman, NEW YORK POST
"A picture as charmingly insubstantial as the world it invokes."
-- Rick Groen, GLOBE AND MAIL
"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."
-- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES
"A wildly erratic drama with sequences that make you wince in embarrassment and others, thanks to the actors, that are quite touching."
-- Kirk Honeycutt, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"The locale ... remains far more interesting than the story at hand."
-- Desson Howe, WASHINGTON POST
"A rambling ensemble piece with loosely connected characters and plots that never quite gel."
-- Loren King, BOSTON GLOBE
"One of [Jaglom's] better efforts -- a wry and sometime bitter movie about love."
-- Mick LaSalle, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"Like most of Jaglom's films, some of it is honestly affecting, but more of it seems contrived and secondhand."
-- Terry Lawson, DETROIT FREE PRESS
"It thankfully goes easy on the reel/real world dichotomy that [Jaglom] pursued with such enervating determination in Venice/Venice."
-- Ed Park, VILLAGE VOICE

"A delicious trifle."
