Not gonna lie, I’d spit in the cake

It’s not in my nature to mention awards season after watching films at Cannes but I’m calling Stellan Skarsgård‘s Oscar nom right now

Watched on Wednesday May 21, 2025.

Jafar Panahi is so slick. He makes the art of filmmaking look so easy when in actuality, what he’s pulling off requires an expert touch. Even when I don’t vibe with his films, I end them wanting to bow down to him. Happy to say this film is top-tier - suspenseful, humorous, casually horrifying and ultimately very very chilling

I’ve been banging on about Michael Angelo Covino ever since The Climb knocked my socks off at Cannes in 2019 so I’m overjoyed that Splitsville is another success. I really enjoy Covino’s brand of chaos. Solid screwball vibes - won’t be to everyone’s tastes but there’s an underlying goofball charm that put me at ease

A very enjoyable Wes film. I have a theory that Michael Cera’s character was originally played by Chalamet

This film lives and dies on Jennifer Lawrence’s performance and christ does she deliver

Although the kid who plays Jake is a sensation

Don’t sleep on this. It’s a towering achievement - fingers crossed it gets widely screened

Controlled, sedate storytelling. Christian Petzold’s latest feels as though it’s a minor work but I’m not so sure. I found it mellifluous and beguiling

Ari Aster dares you to hate Eddington but I’m not biting. It’s good. He brings everyday anxieties to the fore in such subtle ways but also delivers moments with a sledgehammer blow. Nothing here is prescriptive! Take what you will from Eddington. For me, that’s a bizarro thrill ride of a film that not even a continuity error related to “Firework” by Katy Perry could make me dislike. I think it might be even better than I’m giving it credit for. Lots going on under the surface. Ari Aster, you are four for four.

Cannes

Still reeling. The word “dread” in film form. Several heart-in-mouth moments, all expertly done. Good cinema sound is essential
