Read all of Deadline's takes below throughout the festival, which runs through May 24 on the French Riviera. Click on the title to read the full review and keep checking back as we update the list.
Section: Special ScreeningsDirector: Andrew DominikCast: BonoDeadline's takeaway: Bono describes 'shouting' the songs U2 became known for; here, in the reimagined versions, the tone is plaintive and slower, fitting for a show that's intended to be reflective. He spellbinds with stories – not to mention songs – delivered in prose that makes him a worthy successor to Ireland's exceptional writers. — MC
Section: Un Certain RegardDirector: Kristen StewartCast: Imogen Poots, Thora Burch, Michael Epp, Earl Cave, Jim BelushiDeadline's takeaway: Kristen Stewart directing debut is simultaneously raw and intricately constructed, as precise and potentially perilous as a Jenga skyscraper. At the same time, so much technical complexity does create a sense of distance from what we are being told. We see what happened to Lidia Yuknavitch, we understand it, we appreciate Stewart's artistry. The net effect, to be honest, is a bit chilly. — SB
Section: Directors' FortnightDirector: Sean ByrneCast: Jai Courtney, Hassie Harrison, Josh Heuston, Rob Carlton, Ella Newton, Liam GreinkeDeadline's takeaway: This Australian-made sharks-'n'-serial killer thriller is not the kind of fare you expect to see in a more arty Cannes Competition, but Jai Courtney gets a juicy lead role and runs with it. The Great Barrier Reef scenery is to die for, and that seems to be what the plan is for these characters.
Section: CompetitionDirector: Lynne RamsayCast: Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson, LaKeith Stanfield, Sissy Spacek, Nick NolteDeadline's takeaway: America knows very well how good Jennifer Lawrence can be, and this might prove to be a career best at the age of just 34. It also could well mean her fifth Oscar nomination, if it lands in savvy hands, and could be the film that takes Lynne Ramsay into the next stage of her career.
Section: CompetitionDirector: Dominik MollCast: Léa Drucker, Jonathan Turnbull, Sandra Colombo, Come Peronnet, Solàn Machado-Graner, Valentin CampagneDeadline's takeaway: The tremendous Léa Drucker gives vitality to every move and counter-move in this police procedural of serious purpose and sober delivery. It is purposeful filmmaking, firm in its convictions. — SB
Section: CompetitionDirector: Ari AsterCast: Joaquin Phoenix, Deirdre O'Connell, Emma Stone, Micheal Ward, Pedro Pascal, Cameron Mann, Matt Gomez Hidaka, Luke Grimes, Amèlie Hoeferle, Clifton Collins Jr., William Belleau, Austin Butler, Landall GoolsbyDeadline's takeaway: Dressed up as a neo-noir western, this pandemic saga drips with biting, dark political humor. But though all its parts don't quite knit together, Eddington is what you might call a big swing — a film that's more serious than it first seems, seeing Covid as the Big Bang that landed us right where we are now. — DW
Section: Out of Competition (Opening-night film)Director: Amélie BonninCast: Juliette Armanet, Bastien Bouillon, Dominique Blanc, François RollinDeadline's takeaway: Leave One Day is a very particular kind of crowd-pleaser that doesn't do anything especially new, and, even then, doesn't really do it in a very distinctive way. Crucially, though, it has heart, capturing a sense of time having passed and an optimism for the time to come. — DW
Section: Critics' WeekDirector: Shih-Ching TsouCast: Janel Tsai, Shih-Yuan Ma, Nina Ye, Brando HuangDeadline's takeaway: Co-writer/producer Sean Baker's first film since his Oscar triumphs focuses on three generations of females, their quest to make it in Taipei after living in the countryside and the well-hidden secrets and lies permeating this clan. Strong performances all around hold it all together. — PH
Section: CompetitionDirector: Hafsia HerziCast: Nadia Melliti, Park Ji-min, Amina Ben Mohamed, Rita Benmannana, Melissa GuersDeadline's takeaway: The film's light, almost hangout-movie quality is likely to be divisive, but if you lean into its rhythms, it becomes deceptively seductive. Key to this is Nadia Melliti as the brittle but vulnerable Fatima: This is the kind of talent Cannes urgently needs more of; cometh the hour, cometh the star. — DW
Section: Out of CompetitionDirector: Christopher McQuarrieCast: Tom Cruise, Esai Morales, Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Angela BassettDeadline's takeaway: The Final Reckoning, with action that even the most jaded film bore can't say they've ever really seen before, holds up as a stand-alone feature. The callbacks and in-jokes require a fair bit of knowledge, since they span the franchise's whole lifetime in unexpected ways, but it's pretty easy to pick up all the jigsaw pieces and, when it really gets going, immediately forget all about them. — DW
Section: Un Certain RegardDirector: Akinola Davies Jr.Cast: Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù , Godwin Egbo, Chibuike Marvellous EgboDeadline's takeaway: The first film from Nigeria to be selected to play at the Cannes Film Festival is as relevant as it could possibly be, and Akinola Davies Jr. has given it heart and soul. The two young boys could not be more appealing or believable. They will break your heart. So will My Father's Shadow.
Section: Cannes ClassicsDirector: Mariska HargitayWith: Mariska Hargitay, Zoltan Hargitay, Mickey Hargitay Jr., Jayne Marie Mansfield, Nelson Sardelli, Rusty StraitDeadline's takeaway: Mariska Hargitay was only 3 when her movie-star mom Jayne Mansfield died in a car crash. The longtime Law & Order: SVU star's very personal and emotional documentary pieces together parts of the life of a parent she doesn't remember. It's quite a ride, quite a life and quite an extraordinary film. — PH
Section: CompetitionDirector: Richard LinklaterCast: Guillaume Marbeck, Zoey Deutch, Aubry Dullin, Adrien Rouyard, Antoine Besson, Jodie Ruth Forest, Bruno Dreyfurst, Benjamin Clery, Matthieu PenchinatDeadline's takeaway: Richard Linklater's homage to Jean-Luc Godard's Beeathless is that rare bird — a movie about movies that doesn't miss a beat. Whether you have seen that New Wave classic or not doesn't really matter. If you love film, cinema, and the dreamers who create it this one will simply take your breath away. — PH
Section: Cannes PremieresDirector: Raoul PeckDeadline's takeaway: An urgent, indispensable film for our times, Raoul Peck's vital documentary makes it startlingly clear the degree to which we are living in Orwellian times. The parallels between the nightmare of 1984 – where Big Brother dictates every facet of life – and Trump's America have not been properly acknowledged. This film does that. — MC
Section: CompetitionDirector: Wes AndersonCast: Benicio Del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Mathieu Amalric, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rupert Friend, Hope Davis, Richard Ayoade, Willem Dafoe, F. Murray AbrahamDeadline's takeaway: Wes Anderson's latest Wes Anderson movie features a typically all-star cast and has some odd relation to our current reality. But it belongs lock, stock and barrel to Benicio Del Toro, who proves again to be so adept to the rhythms of auteur's dialogue and delivers flawlessly. — PH
Section: Un Certain RegardDirector: Harry LightonCast: Alexander Skarsgård, Harry MellingDeadline's takeaway: A beautifully heartbreaking love story set against a modern world of BDSM, the film navigates the chaotic push and pull of a relationship between a biker and his timid sexual submissive, as each sacrifices parts of themselves for the potential of love. — GG
Section: Un Certain RegardDirector: Charlie PolingerCast: Everett Blonck, Kenny Rasmussen, Kayo Martin, Joel Edgerton, Lucas Adler, Caden Burris, Elliott Heffernan, Nicolas, Rasovan, Lennox Espy, Kolton LeeDeadline's takeaway: Set at an all-boys water polo summer camp, The Plague is on the precipice of horror, since bullying and targeting are their own brand of horror. The film looks like it inevitably is going to fall down the rabbit hole of standard genre tropes at any moment, but it's smarter than that and always keeps it credible. — PH
Section: Directors' FortnightDirector: Hasan HadiCast: Banin Ahmad Nayef, Sajad Mohamad Qasem, Waheed Thabet Khreibat, Rahim AlhajDeadline's takeaway: The first major film from Iraq ever to play in Cannes also might earn the country's first Oscar nomination. Yes, it is that good. Young Banin Ahmad Nayef is the beating heart of this debut feature from Hasan Hadi, which is quite accomplished across the board — PH
Section: CompetitionDirector: Chie HayakawaCast: Yui Suzuki, Franky Lily, Hikari Ishida, Yuumi Kawai, Ayumu Nakajima, Ryota Bando, Hana HopeDeadline's takeaway: Chie Hayakawa's sophomore feature is driven by strong performances and her hallmark humanity. If this story of a young girl seeking connections doesn't coalesce as seamlessly as her debut 'Plan 75' does, it still has the power to touch and then to haunt us. — SB
Section: CompetitionDirector: Kleber Mendonca FilhoCast: Wagner Maura, Maria Fernanda Candido, Carlos Francesco, Alice Carvalho, Aermila Gueded, Isabel Zuaa, Udo Kier, Laura Lufesi, Rokey Villela, Italo Martins, Roberto DiogenisDeadline's takeaway: Brazil-set period film is overlong and sometimes rambling, but Kleber Mendonca Filha — in his biggest production yet — nevertheless has managed to infuse it with style and widescreen excitement. — PH
Section: CompetitionDirector: Óliver LaxeCast: Sergi Lopez, Bruno Núñez Arjona, Jade Oukid, Tonin Janvier, Richard Bellamy, Stefania GaddaDeadline's takeaway: Óliver Laxe doesn't quite land the ending, effectively a switch-and-bait that promises big beats and action then delivers some quiet time for introspection and meditation. Along the way, though, Sirât is certainly a trip, a new way of framing family and loss, with a killer soundtrack for the hardcore. — DW
Section: CompetitionDirector: Mascha SchilinskyCast: Hanna Heckt, Lea Drinda, Lena Urzendowsky, Laeni Geiseler, Zoë Baier, Luise Heyer, Susanne WuestDeadline's takeaway: Cinema is too small a word for what this sprawling yet intimate epic achieves in its ethereal, unnerving brilliance; forget Cannes, forget the Competition, forget the whole year, even — Sound of Falling is an all-timer. — DW
Section: CompetitionDirector: Sergei LoznitsaCast: Aleksandr Kuznetsov, Aleksandr Filippenko, Anatoliy BeliyDeadline's takeaway: Two Prosecutors — a very slow and very talky chamber piece that could be the most terrifying comedy that Aki Kaurismäki never made, or a Chaplin-esque horror film about the evils of bureaucracy in a world ruled by morons — is one of Sergei Loznitsa's most accessible films to date, with relevance to every country wrestling with authoritarian political parties right now. — DW
Section: Un Certain RegardDirector: Harris DickinsonCast: Frank Dillane, Megan Northam, Amr Waked, Karyna Khymchuk, Shonagh MarieDeadline's takeaway: Built around a charismatic performance from Frank Dillane, Harris Dickinson's remarkable feature debut takes the tropes of socially conscious British cinema and fashions a deceptively nuanced cautionary tale that isn't so much about the failings of that society as our own personal capacity for self-destruction.

‘Russians At War' Director & Producer Talk Backlash & Direct-To-Audience Release: 'The Best Counter To The Protests & Hate Is For People To See The Film'

Director Anastasia Trofimova and producer Cornelia Principe are launching a direct-to-audience release this week of the former's controversial documentary Russians at War, in a bid to get it seen after a year of protests and cancellations. The two-hour work gives sobering insight into the futility and carnage of armed conflict through the lives of Russia-aligned soldiers on the front of the country's unprovoked war against Ukraine, with whom Trofimova embedded over a period of seven months. More from Deadline Idris Elba's 'Dust To Dreams' Starring Seal Set To Premiere In TIFF Shorts + Full Lineup TIFF Primetime Lineup: 'The Lowdown', 'Wayward' & 'Black Rabbit' Set To Premiere in Toronto's Series Showcase 'Damned If You Do' Trailer: Gianni Di Gregorio's Comedic Reflection On Love & Family Closes Venice's Giornate Degli Autori After an incident-free world premiere at the Venice Film Festival last year, the doc met with protests in Canada from pro-Ukraine groups ahead of its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), with the former deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland, who is of Ukrainian descent, leading the charge. The protestors accused the film of being Russian propaganda – in a war of Russia's instigation in which more than 13,500 Ukrainian civilians and between 60,000 to 100,000 military personal have been killed and another 10 million people have been displaced – although none of them had seen the film at that point. At least 250,000 Russian troops have died in the conflict. TIFF canceled the festival screening, instead playing the film in the TIFF Lightbox Theatre on the first Tuesday after its 2024 edition ended, using security staff who were still on site to ensure the safety of Trofimova, her producers and the spectators in the room. 'Anastasia had her very own security detail. I had someone following me around even when I went to the bathroom. When we were on stage for the Q&A, there was a line of security in front of us. People who came had to be security scanned. It was a quite a production, but the festival had to make sure everybody was safe,' recounts Principe. The Oscar-nominated Canadian producer (To Kill A Tiger) produced the documentary under her Raja Pictures banner with Sally Blake and Philippe Levasseur at Paris-based Capa Presse. The fallout would continue throughout the year with Athens and Zurich among festivals which pulled the film due to protests and security concerns. Principe also reveals that the International Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) rescinded an invitation issued in August 2024 for its Best of Fests sidebar saying they could not create a constructive dialog around the work. 'That was surprising,' she says of the disinvite, which occurred under the radar before the festival unveiled its lineup. In the meantime, the push back has only strengthened the film team's resolve to get the film seen, with the producers opting for a direct-to-audience strategy. 'The best counter to the protests and the anger is for people to see the film,' says Principe. '99% of the protests came from people who hadn't seen the film… I totally agree that peaceful protest is a great and constructive way to voice one's opinion, but it would be nice also to see the film.' Principe cites documentaries such as Brett Story and Stephen Maing's Union, following Amazon workers as they attempt to unionize, and Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, which also released direct-to-audience, as inspirations for going down the self-distribution route. 'For films that are potentially controversial for some communities or some groups or corporations, going direct-to-audience seems to be the way to go,' says Principe. 'Getting it out there as far and wide as possible was really our plan and it seemed more and more after things happened in Canada and TIFF, that doing it ourselves was the way to go.' Working with the direct-to-audience platform of tech entertainment company Gathr, the producers have created the website, where spectators will be able to gain paid access to the film from August 12. 'It took months and months to get our website together. It's a very fulsome website with lots of content to give people background on the making of the film, frequently asked questions, criticisms that we address, all that is there,' says Principe. The release is worldwide but excludes Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, with the production planning to make it available in those territories for free at a later date. 'That's going to be a separate release because it will be free and we need to make sure that it can actually be accessed in Russia, says Principe. An experienced TV producer and documentarian, who has also worked in Syria and Iraq, Trofimova knew the film would receive pushback from some quarters for the human light in which it portrayed the Russia-aligned soldiers but was not prepared for the full-out backlash it sparked as it embarked on its festival tour last year. 'I think it was easier to go to the front and to be in the war than to deal with what happened afterwards because it was so unexpected. The documentary community has been very supportive overall and very understanding, but what was a shock to me is, how easy it is to be accused of something that people say you did, not that you actually did or said yourself,' she says. 'Most of the people who have been attacking this film, and the most vicious attacks, of course, have been happening online, have not seen the film… In Toronto, where we were the top news story for at least a week, journalists asked the protesters, 'Have you seen the film?' They would reply, 'No, we have not, and we refuse to.' What was surprising for me was, why this anger directed at the film? Why this anger directed at me? Because it's like I became their personal enemy, or the film became their personal enemy.' The fallout has also raised questions for Trofimova around the power of coordinated deplatforming campaigns. 'It has been quite interesting to realize how easy it is for anyone in the documentary community to be attacked and silenced by some sort of interest group, because it didn't take that much to be honest. A lot of the stuff is online. It's quite organized. There's been quite a coordinated defamation deplatforming campaign against this film,' she says. 'It's left quite a bit of damage. I'm not talking about our emotional state, but rather the fact that it started off so well. It was receiving invitations from the world's top festivals and the attacks on it made it so much more difficult for people to program it and to see it. That was the shocking thing.' She also questions the implications of what happened to her for other documentarians who want to tackle controversial and complex topics in the future 'It made me wonder how do we make complex films? It's a question for anyone who wants to take on a big, controversial problem in the world, and we have a lot of them. Now more than ever, documentaries have this huge responsibility to try to explain, to tackle them, to analyze them, to get in there. What do we have to be prepared for as filmmakers next time we go in?,' she says. Trofimova is not certain it is safe for her return to Russia any time soon given the unflattering light in which Russians at War portrays conditions at the front for the country's soldiers, but she hopes to able to return one day to continue a personal mission to capture Russian stories that are told neither in the local media, or internationally. 'The thing about war documentaries is that if you're just faithfully observing and recording this reality, you cannot make anything but an anti -war film, because the longer you stay and the longer you see the futility and how people who are very dear to someone back home, they're just gone. And the same thing goes for both sides… it becomes very, very tragic.' Principe notes how this time last year, she and Trofimova were iin Paris finishing post-production on the work ahead of the Venice premiere. 'A year ago, we were looking forward to Venice. A year later, we're looking forward to releasing the film online, so that people can see it and judge for themselves,' she says. 'They don't have to love the film. They have to don't agree with the film, but watch it and then, we'd love to hear what you think.'
