Film of the Week are delighted to be bringing you daily reviews of the very best films in Competition, Un Certain Regard, Cannes Classics, Directors’ Fortnight and the Critics’ Week sections at the 74th Cannes Film Festival.

Compartment No. 6
“The film clearly knows the oddly comforting loneliness of solo travelling, and watching it after a year in which such pleasures have largely been denied us, I fell hard for its restless, curious spirit.”

Prayers For The Stolen
“It’s a coming-of-age story of unique urgency and scope, in which day-to-day survival is presented as a gift, though it hardly cancels out the girls’ burgeoning hormonal unrest.”

Red Rocket
“Baker further provokes with his slamming tonal transitions and overlaps: the film frequently knots stomach-churning tragedy and farcical, high-pitched comedy into the same scene.”

The Innocents
“From a certain angle, The Innocents might be seen as a horror film; from another, it’s a lo-fi, unusually intriguing superhero origin story.”

After Yang
“This is a world where humans, clones and android beings live in semi-harmony, as sci-fi writers have been imagining for eons. It’s the way they interact and rely on each other here that feels fresh.”

Ahed’s Knee
“Israeli director Nadav Lapid does not make polite films: they spit and snarl and get way up in your face, brashly and constantly switching tack to disrupt your viewing pleasure, even if that means interrupting their own train of thought.”
