"At least he&amp;apos;s still got his good looks! Ryan Gosling&amp;apos;s directorial debut didn&amp;apos;t exactly go well at the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday, May 20. The A-Lister&amp;apos;s film Lost River was actually booed by theater-goers.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Boos reportedly drowned out the applause,&amp;quot; according to Entertainment Weekly.\r\nSeveral critics quickly took to Twitter to bash the effort, many blasting Gosling for poorly imitating acclaimed, darkly quirky director David Lynch.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;If a $200 haircut and $900 shades were given lots of money to defecate on Detroit, the result would be Ryan Gosling&amp;apos;s directing debut,&amp;quot; Grantland writer Wesley Morris tweeted.\r\nThe actor was also memorably booed at the 2013 Cannes Festival when his film Only God Forgives premiered.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Anyone who loved Only God Forgives should love Ryan Gosling&amp;apos;s LOST RIVER. Swap Bangkok for swampy America and it&amp;apos;s basically the same film,&amp;quot; Time Out editor Dave Calhoun tweeted.\r\n\r\nGosling is not the only celeb to get booed at this year&amp;apos;s festival; in fact, he&amp;apos;s not even the only Ryan. Ryan Reynolds&amp;apos; film The Captive also received sub-par reviews, and Blake Lively&amp;apos;s man skipped his own after party on May 16 after getting booed during the screening. The Cannes Festival is notorious for featuring emotional responses from audiences, from booing to cheers.&amp;#xA0;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
