So there are actually a few that I'm interested in seeing. Reviews from The Beguiled are positive enough to reinforce my desire to see it, and I'm super happy for Coppola's prize here (I think only the second female Director winner?). Plus that one comes out next month in the States, so we won't have to wait until awards season. The Square also looks really interesting, I hadn't even read its synopsis before today, it sounds awesome. 120 Beats per Minute had the best reviews of the festival, so that's one to look out for, particularly for Foreign Language Film.
Also, in huge news, Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara are actually a really cute couple?
