ANOTHER WATERWORLD?
BLOODY GOOD
‘IT’S A MUSICAL!’
“Emilia Perez” is a parade of big swings that shouldn’t work. Its Cannes Film Festival premiere proved it’s not for everyone, but those who give into it are loving the wild ride.
BETTER WITH AGE
Four decades ago in “American Gigolo,” Paul Schrader filmed Gere as the ideal, most virile man. In “Oh, Canada,” the actor is aging and decrepit—and as captivating as ever.
RETURN TO FORM
Director Yorgos Lanthimos returns to his nihilistic, sicko ways with “Kinds of Kindness,” a sex-and-cruelty-packed film that had Cannes cheering for its unapologetic bizarreness.
SPARKLEPALOOZA
Netflix’s animation roster has been a mixed bag, but this movie about a donkey with pop-star dreams getting a glitter-and-pink makeover is a charmer.
DRAG HER!
Ru doesn’t often suffer criticism—but this queen was so on point, that even he had to applaud her for it.
APOCALYPSE WOW
Giggles abounded at the Cannes premiere of Francis Ford Coppola’s latest, which lived up its buzz as an absolute trainwreck. Yet it’s so silly it may be destined for cult status.
THE BIG PREMIERE
Don Cheadle directs the new series, about Black Panther founder Huey P. Newton’s surprising relationship with a Hollywood producer in the 1970s.
