Movie Reviews and Previews Michael Fassbender in Slow West A crafty subversion of the Western genre, Slow West is in turns hypnotic, lyrical, and absurd.

Movie Reviews and Previews Alicia & Michael in Monaco Macbeth was screened at Cannes to very strong reviews for everything – the performances, the cinematography, the pace of the story… And for a minute there it looked like it might contend for the Palme d’Or.

Movie Reviews and Previews The Assassin is a contender The Assassin was the film that Sarah was most excited about ahead of Cannes. This is how she described it in her preview: Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-Hsien is arguably one of the greatest directors in the world and he has a new martial arts film, The Assassin, about a ninth By Lainey • May 22, 2015 01:25 pm
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Sienna Miller's slinky amfAR dress It’s fine. It’s not the best dress I’ve ever seen her wear because this is the kind of dress we’re used to seeing on Victoria Secret models, but whatever. I didn’t need her to be Best Dressed at amfAR. I’d rather her save the By Lainey • May 22, 2015 12:32 pm
BFFs Zoe & Jake Jake Gyllenhaal was also at the amfAR gala last night and spent some time hanging out with Zoe Kravitz. I’m about to put Zoe Kravitz on my Five List. Am obsessed with her.

Gross Leo like a boss Like he would miss the amfAR gala, right? Because he's so charitable. And also because models. They're everywhere in Cannes but at the fundraisers they're especially important because the old rich dudes feel more generous when they're around. It's a By Lainey • May 22, 2015 11:12 am

Models Leo's on the boat Oh hey. I haven't posted any shots of Leonardo DiCaprio on a boat in Cannes yet. So. Here. How many billionaires offered him the opportunity? And how do you choose which one to accept? Is it possible that he's renting it on his own? Why spend By Lainey • May 21, 2015 11:47 am
Douchebags Leo & Robin: superdouches in Cannes As expected, Leonardo DiCaprio is in Cannes. There are 80 parties happening at the same time. And 800 models available at all times.

LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Natalie’s green Cannes plunge And once again I have small chest envy. Because this kind of a dress…it’s just so easy. It’s boring as f-ck, but for the colour, for Cannes. But you can imagine how it must feel, just hanging off of you like that, so comfortably, when you don’ By Lainey • May 19, 2015 04:22 pm
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Emily’s Cannes sparkles The photo call dress from earlier today was so promising – click here for a refresher. And she went with silvery beads for the Palais?

Cannes 2015 Cate Blanchett & Solange Not shocking at all – they loved Todd Haynes’s Carol in Cannes. Cate Blanchett? Marvelous, as usual. And Rooney Mara’s performance is being called the best of her career too. They’re saying they could both be nominated for Oscars. Cate’s becoming like Meryl now.
