2021 Cannes Critics’ Panel: Day 3 – Mahamat-Saleh Haroun’s Lingui

Published on July 9, 2021

If he doesn’t go to Venice (he preemed Bye-bye Africa and Daratt, Dry Season there), he’d certainly be headed to the Croisette with this offering. Mahamat-Saleh Haroun finds himself in the comp for a third time with Lingui, previously his fifth feature film Grigris followed his 2010 Grand Prix winning A Screaming Man.

We still have some scores to roll in, but we have a respectable total score of 2.8 for the film.
