The Complete Cannes 2015 Film Guide

It’s the middle of May and fans of film, international and otherwise, are in a joyous frenzy. That means that another Cannes Film Festival is upon us. So to help track all the new movies getting their first screenings in France, we’ve compiled this handy guide of every feature film playing in and out of competition. Below, you’ll also see a collection of the titles in the Directors’ Fortnight and Critics’ Week sections.

As we do for other major festivals throughout the film calendar, we’ll be updating this list as reviews from the members of the Criticwire Network become available. At any point during the festival and afterwards, the overall grade averages are subject to change, so be sure to check back as the festivities progress.

Happy tracking!
