Film reception

Critical favourites included "No Country for Old Men", "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" and "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days" which were equally well received at the Cannes Film Festival, plus the Joy Division biopic "Control" which, along with the eponymously titled documentary on the band, "Joy Division", was picked up by The Weinstein Company. Peter Howell of the Toronto Star named Sidney Lumet's "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" a major Oscar contender.cite web

Highly-discussed but divisive films among the public and critics include comedies "Juno" and "Margot at the Wedding", the Bob Dylan biopic "I'm Not There" and Brian De Palma's Iraq War documentary "Redacted". Films expected to stir controversy for their transgressive sexual content, such as Ang Lee's "Lust, Caution", Alan Ball's "Nothing Is Private" and Martin Gero's "Young People Fucking", did divide audiences but without fanfare. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and Across the Universe both won their share of supporters despite previous reports of shooting delays and director-studio clashes.
