Well the critics screening is separate from the audience screening . Critic screenings are for people in the press . No ads play before the screening , and theatres are almost always dead silent when it ' s done . No one cheers or claps at the end . They just generally get up and leave the theatre as quietly as possible . In contrast to audience screenings where its all a bit more relaxed environment . And audiences generally laugh out loud or clapcheer at the end of the movie . Moonlight was a special occasion , it was so good that even the critics stayed in their seat and applauded it at the end . That almost never happens in press screenings . <| sep |> Original post by upoopsiegirl in rpicsnbspThis crosspost was performed automatically as a part of the ImagesOfNetwork .
