Awards Radar Community: What Was Your Favorite Title to Play at Last Year’s Cannes Film Festival?

The Cannes Film Festival is underway in France right now, which is very exciting. Last year, Sean Baker‘s Anora made its debut and took the Palme d’Or, on the way to Oscar dominance, including the Academy Award for Best Picture. As we get set to consider the 2025 films that are playing, we wanted to look back once more on 2024. So, for this weekend’s Awards Radar Community Question, last year’s Cannes lineup is on our minds. The question? Which of the movies from last year’s Cannes was your favorite?

Among the In Competition titles, we obviously have the aforementioned Anora, alongside All We Imagine as Light, The Apprentice, Bird, Emilia Pérez, Kinds of Kindness, Megalopolis, The Seed of the Sacred Fig, The Shrouds, and The Substance, just to name some higher profile ones. Some of these films were among the most beloved of last year. In the Un Certain Regard section, Flow played, which is another very lovable option. These movies run the gamut of cinema, so there’s really something for everyone here. Whatever you gravitated towards (or didn’t, in some cases), don’t be shy about telling us.

Out of Competition, the likes of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1, Rumours, and The Surfer played, so if any of those strike your fancy, be sure to tell us. There’s always at least one big mainstream blockbuster at Cannes, with this year’s option being Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. Last year, it was Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. If you loved that flick, definitely say so.

The choice is now yours! Which Cannes titles from last year were your favorites? Was there one above all of the others? If so, let us know. The festival is currently going on and new movies are debuting, but one last time, we can look back to last year. Whether it’s Anora or something else, be sure to tell us all about it…
