Only nine directors have ever won the Palme d’Or twice. Francis Ford Coppola did it in the ’70s with The Conversation and Apocalypse Now. Ruben Östlund joined the club last year after following The Square with Triangle of Sadness. But this year, there is a very real possibility that, at 86, Ken Loach may go above and beyond that by winning a third Palme for his new film, The Old Oak. Loach first won in 2006 with the historical Irish drama The Wind That Shakes the Barley, then doubled up in 2016 with I, Daniel Blake, a caustic study of Britain’s healthcare crisis. After that came Sorry, We Missed You, a no-less withering look at the punitive gig economy. Like the latter two films, The Old Oak is set in the North East of England and completes an unofficial trilogy, this time with a slightly more optimistic bent. Like all of Loach’s output since 1996, it was written by Paul Laverty, and the pair sat down with Damon Wise to discuss the film’s themes of humanity and social responsibility.

speculate that it was “staged.”On Thursday, Madix told the New York Times that the cheating duo had a shot at redemption, but then they shot themselves in the foot with their behavior.“I think any chance that either of them separately had for [redemption] ended when they started giving trash interviews victimizing themselves,” she said, referring to Leviss’s TMZ interview and Sandoval’s Howie Mandel interview. At the end of March, Leviss told TMZ, ““I apologized to [Madix] over text, but she didn’t receive it very well.”She also sounded distressed about the fact that the public was not sympathetic towards her, and said “it’s been a lot,” referring to the fallout from her affair with Sandoval. During an April appearance on Howie Mandel’s podcast for his first interview post-Scandoval, Sandoval described his first kiss with Leviss as “magnetic.” “I felt something that I hadn’t felt in so long, like, emotionally,” he said. He described Leviss as “so awesome,” “so kind,” “smart,” “witty,” “fun,” “beautiful” and “f–king amazing.”As it turns out, Madix was not impressed by either her cheating ex-boyfriend or Leviss blabbing to the press and gushing about their infidelity.“I think had they not done or said all of those horrible things, maybe one day [they could be redeemed],” she said. “But I think the answer ultimately is no.

A roller-coaster journey. Lala Kent had plenty of thoughts about the Vanderpump Rules content filmed after Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval‘s cheating scandal broke — and it doesn’t seem like any of them were positive.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic From “Saved!” to “The Miseducation of Cameron Post,” Sundance movies tend to paint fundamentalist Christians as severe, cult-like zealots, hellbent on brainwashing the next generation. While such portrayals can certainly be cathartic for those scarred by conservative upbringings, it’s a refreshing change to see this milieu treated with the level of nuance that Laurel Parmet brings to “The Starling Girl.” Set in a small Kentucky town where morality is strictly enforced, Parmet’s promising, evenhanded debut focuses on a religious teen (“Little Women” star Eliza Scanlen) who’s never had reason to question her faith, until a crush on her handsome youth pastor (Lewis Pullman) awakens her sexuality and scandalizes the community. For the adults in this repressive rural enclave, organized religion seems to provide the discipline and structure they seek. But for 17-year-old Jem Starling, their values are starting feel like a straitjacket.

Despite everyone’s differences in upbringing, growing up is a difficult experience that is universal and nondenominational. While we all know this and have seen countless coming-of-age films that tackle the difficulty of discovering yourself, your wants, and your dreams, Laurel Parmet’s “The Starling Girl” puts a twist on the genre that explores Christianity, crushes, and power dynamics.  From the trailer, you can tell that this is going to be an emotional story following seventeen-year-old Jem Starling as she struggles to define her place within her fundamentalist community in Kentucky.
