After seeing three dozen or so movies over the past two weeks, we’re ready to call it for the 79th edition of the prestigious film festival. And while the consensus — or rather, the Cannes-sensus; this list is now officially a punning Stan account — had been that this year’s festival has been a bit of a lackaidaisacal year and a letdown, characterized by a lot of brand-name…
