The following films were selected.{{Cite web|url=http://archives.semainedelacritique.com/films/2012/2012_selection.php |title=51e selection de la Semaine de la Critique - 2012 |work=semainedelacritique.com |access-date=10 August 2017}}

It's their film. They are the essence of this film."
Moretti said that none of the winners had been selected unanimously, and described such an outcome as "a middle ground that would have pleased no one". He revealed that Holy Motors, Paradise: Love and Post Tenebras Lux were the entries that most had divided the jury.{{Cite web |url=http://www.cineuropa.org/2011/nw.aspx?t=newsdetail&l=en&did=221697 |title=Nanni Moretti: 'No prize was agreed on unanimously' |last=Lemercier |first=Fabien |date=28 May 2012 |work=cineuropa.org |publisher=Cineuropa |access-date=28 May 2012}}
