[Richard Norbert Galambos]

My most anticipated movie of the year. I'm not even joking around

[Krissykins]

Raves everywhere. 
 

Loved Mikey Madison in Scream and I really enjoyed Red Rocket. 

[Eric Lasagna]

Sean Baker da GOAT

[filmlover]

All we need to know is if Mikey Madison upholds her tradition of being torched in movies. An unlikely legend.

[Sindreee]

Sean Baker continuing his insane run, you love to see it 😍

[cinema pal]

I'm happy for Madison, she was the best part of Scream5

[Krissykins]

Leads Cannes by a pretty wide margin so far:

 

 

 

Anora

The Substance 

Caught by the Tides

 

are the only films with an average above 2.5 lol. 

[Spidey Freak]

That plotline SLAPS. Quickly moved up to one of my most anticipated of the year.

[vale9001]

we have the first Best Picture nominee 

[TheDude391]

Not surprised, this was one of a SMALL handful of In Comp titles that wasn't extremely polarizing. Hyped to see it!

So Neon have the last 5 Palme d’Or winners.

Anora

Anatomy of a Fall

Triangle of Sadness

Titane

Parasite

 

What a run (especially Anatomy and Titane for me). 

[Parasite]

This was one of the best films at Cannes this year, but I didn't feel it was quite on a Palme level. Still very happy for the film.

Which do you think should have won?

[Eric Lasagna]

Neon must have some sort of sixth sense in knowing what will win the Palme. Like this can't be a coincidence.

Caught by the tides or Grand Tour. I couldn't see nor All we imagine as light nor The seed of the sacred fig though.

All the awarded movies have solid acclaim, at least for anglophone critics (so RT and metacritic).
