Anora, Sean Baker’s latest film following 2021's Cannes-premiering Red Rocket, is a raucous blast - a kinetic New York City screwball comedy that shares the chaotic energy of the Safdie brothers’ Uncut Gems and disguises a darker heart. It’s a knockout. Tempting though it is to finish the review there, with the added substantial bonus that Baker makes Take That co-exist with t.A.T.u. (don’t pretend you’re not sold on this by now), here’s some context. The title character, an exotic dancer and sometime escort who prefers to be called Ani (Mikey Madison), works in a strip club in Manhattan. Bein...

What – or who – turned young real-estate executive Donald Trump into the tangerine menace who just refuses to go away? This is the question that drives Ali Abbasi’s English-language debut The Apprentice – a conventional but compelling biopic scripted by journalist Gabriel Sherman, which focuses on the formative years of the man who would one day worm himself into the White House. We meet The Donald (Sebastian Stan) in a Manhattan club, where he attempts to impress his date by listing some of the guests there. He’s awkward, out-of-his-depth, and crippled with daddy issues, struggling to make a ...

After her impressive calling card in 2017 with the bloody and candy-coloured Revenge, Coralie Fargeat has clearly been brushing up on her body horror. And she did not come to Cannes to play gently. There isn’t anything in the French writer-director’s second film, The Substance, that hasn’t been addressed before. The fear of aging – specifically how Hollywood’s obsession with beauty leads to the ruthless system discarding female talent the second they’re “past it” - has been seen in countless films. However, Fargeat executes it with a merciless precision that out-Cronenbergs Cronenberg. She wil...

The Cannes Film Festival is always a spectacle, but 2024's edition may be the most controversial in years. The red carpet unfurls against a backdrop of war in Gaza and protests, and a rapidly spreading #MeToo movement in France's film industry. Following the excitement of the highly-anticipated premieres of Megalopolis and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga last week, the festival continues to dazzle with big releases and A-list actors. On Friday (17 May), Yorgos Lanthimos returned to Cannes with Kinds of Kindness, his follow-up to Poor Things, reuniting with that film's Oscar-winning lead, Emma Stone. P...

You are not ready for this one... Cannes mainstay Jacques Audiard returns to the Competition with a Spanish-language melodrama about Mexican cartel boss Manitas (Karla Sofía Gascón), who wants to become a woman. In order to do so undetected from the criminal underworld, he kidnaps a lawyer, Rita (Zoé Saldaña), who is tired of defending violent husbands in a corrupt system that leaves “a taste of shit” in her mouth. She is tasked with finding the right doctor to perform the multitude of surgical procedures, and soon understands that this life-changing transformation isn’t about disappearing to ...

After the box office draw and acclaim of The Favourite and Poor Things, Yórgos Lánthimos reunites with his long-time writing partner Efthimis Filippou (Dogtooth, The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer) for a strange anthology triptych that is darker and far more surreal than his recent output. Kinds of Kindness tells three distinct stories using the same acting troupe in different roles, and it’ll prove divisive for fans of The Favourite and last year’s Poor Things. This triple helping of Lanthimos’ return to his Greek Weird Wave roots is for the OG fans - those who miss that queasy malaise...

Celebrated British director Andrea Arnold is no stranger to Cannes. Three of her five feature films have won the Jury Prize award (Red Road, Fish Tank and American Honey) and this year, she’s already taking home the Carrosse d’Or, which recognises the career of innovative filmmakers.

For her new film Bird, she teams up with the ubiquitous double act Barry Keoghan and Franz Rogowski, and newcomer Nykiya Adams, who plays 12-year-old Bailey. We meet her sharing a moment with a seagull. A brief window...
