The much hyped new film from Donnie Darko creator Richard Kelly, Southland Tales, did not get a very good response, to say the least.
Empire online was at the screening in Cannes:
“Indeed, the critical reaction has almost unanimously been negative, with some seasoned Cannes-goers insisting it’s actually the worst movie they’ve ever seen in competition here. During the screening, the walkouts started at around 20 minutes in, and there was a slow haemorrhage of audience members throughout.”
That’s gotta hurt. I had high hopes for this one, but it seems that it’s not easy making a follow up to a modern cult classic.
Southland Tales stars Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Sarah Michelle Gellar (she’ll always be Buffy to me, damn it!) and Sean William Scott.
