N.Y. Times critics A.O. Scott and Manohla Dargis have written that "for many" -- code for themselves and other top-dog elites like Jim Hoberman, John Powers, Glenn Kenny, Scott Foundas, et. al. -- Cannes-spotlighted directors like Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne (Le Silence de Lorna), Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Three Monkeys) and Lucrecia Martel (The Headless Woman) "are the real stars of Cannes. In America their names may be met with blank stares, but here they walk up the same red carpet as some of the most prominent Hollywood filmmakers and celebrities. And this may be the ultimate measure of the festival’s integrity as well as a reminder of its noble traditions."

I'm sure Uncle Glenn is amused at being among the elite.

Eventually any film critic with a job will be considered elite.

Breathe easy Jeff. These dastardly upper-crusters will never make the mistake of including you in their little club.
They may, however, give you a wink as they head into the new Jia film while you toil in the queue for Kung Fu Panda.
