Cannes 2010’s Top 10 New Faces: Introducing David Call

Paired with Brady Corbet in Alistair Banks Griffin's Two Gates of Sleep, David Call is contained to a mute role but the very physical performance demanded for the part of Louis and one harrowing scene in particular is likely to land the actor further parts.

Cannes 2010’s Top 10 New Faces: Introducing Olga Shuvalova

In a film where there are so many oddball characters that it's difficult to just mention one, but it's this shrimp sized actress with not that much screen time that has retained my attention. In only her second film role, Olga Shuvalova briefly reminded me of Jodie Foster's part in Taxi Driver - an aged beyond her years character turning tricks at a very wholesome age.

Cannes 2010’s Top 10 New Faces: Introducing Ana Girardot

It may still be too soon to tell where they'll be headed in their respective acting careers, but they'll have Alicia Duffy to thank for helping them hone and develop their craft with All Good Children.

Cannes 2010: Interview with Writer/Director Alicia Duffy (All Good Children)

Meant to offer reprieve from the loss of their mother, a summer vacation in the French countryside speeds up the awkward childhood to teenage-hood morphing process for one crystal-eyed twelve year-old (Jack Gleeson), but everything that follows this boy's first kiss with a cute red-head (newbie Imogen Jones) is a clear indication that the forest isn't always the best of sanctuaries and that male-female rapport and attraction is transitory for some and made more complex for others.
