Three international selections to keep an eye on.
Three international selections to keep an eye on.
Two European prize winners from the recent festival.
One-third sports documentary and two-thirds exploration of Colin Kaepernick’s role in the Black Lives Matter movement and its ensuing White backlash.
Top pick: Director Ramin Bahrani’s 2nd Chance.

It took 10 days to find this personal favorite at this year’s festival.
The most entertaining and slick genre film at Cannes, and among the few in this year’s competition where a woman really held all the cards.
