Scream! Watching this film at the Cannes Film Festival was such a unique experience that I completely lost track of the things I usually pay attention to – the direction, the screenplay, the editing, the acting and everything. That’s when you know a movie is truly exceptional!
I am incredibly grateful to have had this privilege
Sean Baker takes us on another anti-stereotypical journey that makes you forget about everything else going on in your life. watching this masterpiece in Cannes at the iconic Grand Théâtre Lumière, sitting just a few rows away from the team.
