Na Hong-Jin’s Hope impressed the critics on Screen’s Cannes jury grid while there were middling scores for Lazlo Nemes’s Moulin and Jeanne Herry’s Another Day.
South Korean genre thriller Hope scored a 2.8 average, with one rating still outstanding. Le Monde’s Mathieu Macharet gave the film a four-star (excellent) while the majority of critics gave it a three-star (good).

Set in a remote village in South Korea, Hope follows a police chief who is drawn into a spiralling mystery after reports of a tiger sighting. Hwang Jung-min (Deliver Us From Evil), Zo In-sung (TV series Moving) and Jung Ho-yeon (Squid Game) star alongside Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander.
Next up was historical drama Moulin on 1.9. The film divided critics somewhat, with The Telegraph and Screen both giving it a four-star, while five critics gave it just one-star (poor).
Nemes was previously on the grid in 2015 with Son Of Saul scoring a solid 2.8. Gilles Lellouche headlines the true story of Jean Moulin, who unified the French Resistance during the Second World War but was eventually captured by the Gestapo under the notorious Klaus Barbie.
Finally, French drama Another Day landed near the bottom with an average of 1.7. Macharet gave the film a zero star (bad) while Stephanie Zacharek (Time) and Screen’s own critic gave it three stars.
Adele Exarchopoulos stars as a gifted actress struggling to earn the recognition she craves, living paycheck to paycheck in Paris while grappling with anxiety and alcohol addiction.
The next scores to land on the grid will be Arthur Harari’s The Unknown and Cristian Mungiu’s Fjord.
