Gus Van Sant’s Paranoid Park is just a couple of hours from its first screening at the Cannes Film Festival.

But the reviews are already starting to trickle in.

Here is what The London Times has to say about the film. And here’s the best quote to come out of festival reviews so far:

“It is worth mentioning that this is the first film in the festival which addresses the war in Iraq…It’s not going to appease the critics who wonder why cinema has been largely silent on a issue which has dominated the news for the last four years, but it’s a start.”

P.S.: Heard word over the weekend that the 40-strong Paranoid Park gang are having a fabu time on the Cote d’Azur.
