‘Jim Queen’ Review: Bawdy French Animated Gay Comedy Tells Too Many Old Jokes Original
'Jim Queen' Courtesy of Bobbypills One goes to Cannes to see the highest of high-minded cinema, bold and searing visions from the world’s foremost auteurs. We peek in on the social upheavals of contemporary Romania, explore the fringes of city life in Tokyo and Seoul, roam the lonely foothills of Anatolia, experience the bustle of Dakar, examine the fraught history of Chile. It is an enriching experience, to see what the planet’s premier and emerging film artists have newly dreamt up.
‘Moulin’ Review: A Hero of the French Resistance Is Given Tribute in Grinding, Only Occasionally Effective Prison Drama Original
'Moulin' Cannes Film Festival The French Resistance hero Jean Moulin was 44 when he was captured by the Gestapo in Lyon and tortured until his death, in July of 1943.

‘Karma’ Review: Marion Cotillard Goes Through Hell in a Juicy Cult-Themed Melodrama That’s Relevant Despite Its Contrivances Original
'Karma' Cannes Film Festival For a brief, enticing stretch of Guillaume Canet’s Karma, it appears to be a film in which Canet’s ex-wife Marion Cotillard plays an alcoholic employed at a Spanish sardine factory. We haven’t seen Cotillard do exactly that before, so that would be a novelty, and it might be nice to watch her in another working-class social drama, all these years after her Oscar-nominated turn in Two Days, One Night.
‘Club Kid’ Review: A Party Animal Turns Papa Bear in Jordan Firstman’s Winsome and Clever Dramedy Original
'Club Kid' Adam Newport Berra The writer and actor Jordan Firstman — known for viral web videos, for films like Rotting in the Sun, for the television series I Love LA — is an acquired taste. He often plays into a certain abrasive, ditzy stereotype about gay men who live in big cities: sex-crazed but loveless, self-conscious and self-aggrandizing at once, literate but dumb, politically aware and yet eager to transgress supposed civility.
