I’ve admitted repeatedly that I have a special knack for failing to see this or that hot-ticket attraction at the Cannes Film Festival. Last May’s big miss was Jordan Firstman‘s Club Kid (A24, 11.6).
“It was an incredible surprise when Firstman’s directorial debut, Club Kid, [became] one of the most acclaimed, crowd-pleasing films there. Playing out like a family dramedy with a very distinct bite, Club Kid nicely strikes the balance between having a unique voice and a familiar, easy-to-palate story.” — Fandomwire‘s Sean Boelman (5.25.26).
