When a movie does poorly at the box office, we dub it a bomb. Or a misfire. Or a dud. Or, if it performs exceptionally badly, a disaster.The violence inherent in these words says it all; it’s funny how an act of creation can be described so destructively. That really speaks to Hollywood, where a beautiful, inventive, groundbreaking, thrilling film can be labeled a “disappointment” if it fails to generate enough ticket sales. Sometimes a movie can earn hundreds of millions of dollars, win Academy Awards, and still go down in history as a dud. There’s no business like show business — at…

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 3.5 out of 5. There’s a peculiar kind of vulnerability that comes with a blind date — the uncertainty of who you’ll meet, what you’ll say, or where the night might lead. For some, it ends with a second date. For others, it’s a story to laugh about later. But for Violet Gates, the blind date in Drop becomes a fight for survival — one that unearths secrets, traumas, and a deeply sinister plot hiding in plain sight. Directed by Christopher Landon, and written by Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach, Drop centers around Violet (played brilliantly by Meghann…
Normally, for these dispatches, we try to pair films within their respective sections. But Cannes is such a massive undertaking that it feels more apropos to jump from section to section in the same way many critics do. As such, this dispatch includes a selection from Un Certain Regard, Directors’ Fortnight, and Midnight—all about losses of some kind. A thousand hopes reside in “My Father’s Shadow,” the crushingly personal semi-autobiographical film by director Akinola Davies set in 1993 Nigeria. In the first film from Nigeria to premiere at Cannes in Un Certain Regard, the first hope that springs is the…

After what felt like a slow start, Cannes 2025 exploded over the weekend with lauded premieres from beloved filmmakers like Lynne Ramsay, Richard Linklater, and Wes Anderson, alongside some remarkable debuts. This dispatch features a blazing cinematic hallucination from the director of “You Were Never Really Here,” a clever little experiment in themes that have defined the career of a German auteur, and an announcement of a major new talent in one of the two incredible debuts that I’ve seen at this festival this year (Robert Daniels is covering the other one, so I’ll keep that a secret for now).…
