Yeah in the case of PT Anderson, Punch-Drunk flopped here in the US and it suffered in the year’s Academy Awards. No screenplay or Best director nomination, not even a Golden Globe nomination! Good films that don’t make money do suffer when the award seasons come. I mean PTA did get the Cannes award for Best Director.

I saw Coppola say this in an article and thought of this post:
Q: Tetro is my favorite film of the year thus far, but the reviews have been mixed. What do critics mean to you these days?
A: For me, the role of the critic is to teach me how I can make the next one better. I realize what my flaws are. I could learn a lot from my daughter because she’s very economical, and I tend not to be. There are obviously good critics and bad critics — who, just because the movie isn’t like anything they’ve seen, immediately call it a “muddled mess.â€
