Peter Bart: Cannes Strong On Debuts, Long On Ovations And Short On Surprises
Yee Jackson, Shu Qi and Yan Nan star in the pic, which is at least partly set in a world where humanity has lost the ability to dream (and thereby live forever). There are some who rebel against this by living only in a dream world.
In a prologue, one woman — 'gifted with the power to perceive these illusions for what they truly are,' according to the Cannes logline — goes into this latter world to pull one of the dreamers out. It leads, as Deadline's Damon Wise wrote in his review tonight, 'vignettes that don't seem to have any plot or resolution whatsoever, which is certainly cool as a concept but not so much fun to watch.'
Click to read the full review.
The film, which seemed to garner a tepid response in the room — or maybe the audience was tired after its 155-minute runtime — played late Thursday on the second-to-last night of the festival, with the ceremony that awards the Palme d'Or set for Saturday evening here to wrap up the 2025 edition.

Ezra Miller considers returning to Hollywood: 'Solitude has been friendly to me'
Two years after Ezra Miller's last screen role and three years after a barrage of legal issues, including criminal charges and harassment allegations, The Flash star is eyeing a return. Miller surprised industry watchers by appearing at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, attending in support of friend and collaborator Lynne Ramsay's Die My Love. Ramsay, who directed the actor in 2011's award-winning We Need to Talk About Kevin, is "one of my closest friends in the world" and "one of the greatest living filmmakers," Miller (who uses they/them pronouns) told Italian publication Lo Speciale Giornale. Ramsay revealed in May that Miller will star as the main character in her next film, described as a vampire movie. "I'm working with her again," Miller confirmed. "That will likely be the first thing I do, is a film that her and I are writing together. I've been writing a lot because you can do that in solitude, which has been friendly to me." When asked to characterize his relationship with cinema, Miller responded, "Tentative — I'd say on tentative grounds." Though Miller's legal and personal issues came to a head in 2022, the actor had already courted controversy and legal scrutiny when in 2020, a video resurfaced of the actor choking a woman in a bar in Iceland to the ground. In 2022, Miller faced accusations of assault, abuse, and grooming children, and was subject of arrest for disorderly conduct, which led to a string of subsequent arrests, often following physical altercations. Certain charges, like their 2023 burglary charge in the state of Vermont, have been dropped due to plea deals Miller has struck in multiple states. Miller has since apologized for their behavior, noting in a statement provided to Entertainment Weekly that they were in "a time of intense crisis," as well as "suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment." Three years from that period of "crisis," Miller is "really, really grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss." "When you work in this industry," said the actor, who also starred in the Fantastic Beasts trilogy of films, "you will find yourself in deep, deep relation to people who do not give single f--- about you or your well being, at all — not that I don't hold a lot of remorse and lamentation for a lot of things I did and a lot of things that happened in that time."

Ezra Miller Considering Hollywood Return 'On Tentative Grounds' After Cannes
Before Ezra Miller was spotted bolting down the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival last month, they had largely remained out of the public eye for the past two years following a series of arrests. The actor recently said they've considered returning to Hollywood 'on tentative grounds' after friend Lynne Ramsay 'asked me to come' to Cannes in support of the world premiere of her film Die My Love.

'I'm working with her again, that will likely be the first thing I do, is a film that her and I are writing together.' Miller added, 'I've been writing a lot, because you can do that in solitude, which has been friendly to me.' The Fantastic Beasts actor said Cannes was a 'tough re-entry point' after they were the subject of several incidents going back to 2020, including assault, harassment, burglary and the alleged grooming of an 18-year-old. 'Not that I don't hold a lot of remorse and lamentation for a lot of things I did and a lot of things that happened in that time, but I'm really, really grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss,' added Miller.I After a temporary harassment order was lifted against Miller by a Massachusetts court following allegations that they behaved inappropriately around her 12-year old child, the actor told Deadline they were 'very grateful' for the order, claiming that the woman was 'seeking attention or fleeting tabloid fame or some sort of personal vengeance.' 'I have been unjustly and directly targeted by an individual who the facts have shown has a history of such manipulative and destructive action,' added Miller in June 2023.
