Jessica Kiang It’s not only because of its similar time frame that Boris Lojkine‘s hurtling, headlong social-issues drama “The Story of Souleymane” recalls “Two Days, One Night” by the Dardenne brothers. Lojkine’s film, which was awarded the jury prize and a well-deserved best actor award in the Un Certain Regard competition in Cannes, is similarly invested in its electrifying lead — non-professional Abou Sangare, making an unforgettably persuasive and poignant debut — and similarly effective in maintaining a level of urgency and high-stakes personal peril that few genre thrillers can muster.

The numbers are in and Beckham and Squid Game: The Challenge have topped the charts in terms of Netflix viewership when it comes to non-scripted titles.

stars look like they forgot that filming for Hulu's hit show wrapped in 2019 in this cute new video that has quickly gone viral.The duo, who starred as Connell and Marianne in the wildly successful adaptation of Sally Rooney's novel of the same name, were caught exchanging glances while sitting in the same front row at the Gucci cruise 2025 show at the Tate Modern in London on May 13. It's a classic case of a missed connection: Mescal looks at her, she catches him looking away, he looks back just as she's turned her attention elsewhere… Mescal laughs sheepishly when they finally acknowledge each other, and it's cute and flirty and aren't they just adorable silly goofy sweeties!But that's not even the best part of the seven-second clip.

Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent Omar Sy, the charismatic French actor of heist show “Lupin,” is set to star in “French Lover,” Netflix‘s romantic comedy that will mark the directorial debut of Nina Rives. Sy, who is currently attending the Cannes Film Festival and sits on Greta Gerwig’s competition jury, will star opposite Sara Giraudeau (“Bernadette”), Pascale Arbillot (“Lost Bullet”) and Alban Ivanov (“C’est la vie”). Hugo Gélin, who previously directed “Love at Second Sight” and “Two Is a Family,” a pair of heartwarming comedies which thrived at the French box office, is serving as artistic producer on the film.

Courtney Howard After “Ticket to Paradise” and “Destination Wedding” showed us the different ways in which calamity ensues when planning weddings abroad, Netflix releases “Mother of the Bride,” which combines the essential elements of both those recent romantic comedies into one passable package. The far-off setting emphasizes the lavish and luxe, though the narrative is cheaply woven and fairly threadbare. While “Mean Girls” director Mark Waters’ latest fails to add anything unique to the conversation, it does scrounge up a modest amount of heart when it comes to its saccharine sweet message of never giving up on happily ever after.

EXCLUSIVE: Charlie Cox (Daredevil) has been tapped to star opposite Zooey Deschanel in Merv (working title), Amazon MGM Studios‘ rom-com from director Jessica Swale, which is now in production.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor It was a long night for Tom Brady at his live Netflix comedy roast, as it was for the rest of us watching from home. Starting with a bloody OJ Simpson jersey and ending with Tom Brady smashing an iPhone on stage, the Netflix live event, “The Greatest Roast of All-Time: Tom Brady,” honored the seven-time Super Bowl champion and modern-day legend as he faced his biggest challenge yet: being roasted by comedians and his former NFL teammates.

EXCLUSIVE: Chris Evans, Anya Taylor-Joy, Salma Hayek, and Brendan Fraser will star in Sacrifice, a film cowritten and to be directed by Romain Gavras. Like his last film Athena that premiered last Venice and was released on Netflix, Sacrifice has a similar combustible and propulsive anarchy coursing through the film. This is closer to satire, but the script by Gavras and Will Arbery was strong enough to compel the leads to commit over the span of four days since the script was sent to talent. More actors will be set shortly, and I expect that the project — CAA Media Finance is selling the world with Rocket Science — won’t have a lot of territories left by the time buyers hit the Croisette. All the elements are there to launch Gavras as a major writer/director, here making his first English language film.
