Screen’s 2026 Cannes jury grid has an early frontrunner in the shape of Pawel Pawlikowski’s Fatherland, which has scored a 3.3 average from our critics.
The black-and-white literary drama, which stars Hanns Zischler as Thomas Mann and Sandra Hüller as his daughter, scored four stars (excellent) from NT Binh (France’s Positif), Anton Dolin (Meduza), Peter Bradshaw (UK’s The Guardian), and Screen’s critic, with three stars (good) from the rest of the grid’s critics.

For comparison, last year’s grid was jointly topped by Two Prosecutors and It Was Just An Accident with scores of 3.1.
Meanwhile, Asghar Farhadi’s Parallel Tales earned a low 1.7 average from our critics, placing it at the bottom of the grid. But it received a wide range of scores.
The film follows Isabelle Huppert’s novelist, who is inspired by the neighbours on whom she spies, with Virginie Efira and Vincent Cassel also starring.
The film scored a zero star (bad) from The Telegraph’s Robbie Collin and Le Monde’s Mathieu Macheret, but a four-star from NT Binh and a three from Ahmed Shawkey from filfan.com. It was two and one stars from the rest of the critics.
Next up on the grid is Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s All Of A Sudden and Marie Kreutzer’s Gentle Monster.
The jury grid is updating live on screendaily.com, in addition to being printed in our Cannes dailies.
The leading score ever on the grid remains the 3.8 for Burning in 2018.
