Emmanuel Marre’s A Man Of His Time and Ira Sachs’s The Man I Love have landed middle of the pack on Screen’s Cannes jury grid.
A Man Of His Time fared slightly better with critics, scoring a 2.8 average overall. Most scores comprised two stars (average) and three stars (good) while Le Monde’s Mathieu Macharet gave it a four-star (excellent).

The 1940s-set drama stars Swann Arlaud (Anatomy Of A Fall) as Henri Marre, who arrives in Vichy with a political manuscript hoping to save France — and himself — from downfall.
Sachs’s second time on the jury grid saw a 2.4 average for The Man I Love. Anton Dolin, Peter Bradshaw and Ahmed Shawkey were the least impressed, all scoring the film a one-star rating (poor), with the rest of the critics giving it two or three stars.
It is an improvement on Sachs’s last entry, 2019 drama Frankie, which received a 1.6 from the critics. Set in New York during the late-190s Aids crisis, The Man I Love stars Rami Malek, Tom Sturridge, Rebecca Hall and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
The next films to land on the grid are La Bola Negra from Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo, and Lukas Dhont’s Coward. Pawel Pawlikowski’s Fatherland is still leading the grid with a score of 3.3.
