The article discusses the significance of standing ovations at film festivals like Cannes, using them as key data points for predicting award season success. It highlights last year's top film, The Substance, which received 11 minutes of applause and garnered multiple nominations. The article compares this year's films, including Sound of Falling, which only received ~4 minutes despite strong praise, and Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, which had varied reports on its applause duration. It emphasizes the subjective nature of ovation reporting among different publications.
Last year, the most clapped film of Cannes was The Substance, which got 11 minutes of ovation, correlating to many nominations and wins during awards season.
Variety tends to be a little stingier than The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline when it comes to measuring standing ovations, leading to varying clap counts between outlets.
This year at Cannes, Sound of Falling only received ~4 minutes of clapping, despite Vulture labeling it potentially the best film of the festival.
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning had varying reports on its standing ovation, with Deadline clocking it at 7.5 minutes while others noted less than five.
