Cannes 2019: 10 Most Buzzed About Movies

8. Rocketman

The Lighthouse
Paramount Pictures

One of the buzziest films from Cannes is one you can see right now!

Premiering at Cannes just 6 days before its UK cinema release, Dexter Fletcher's Rocketman hit all the right notes at its first screenings.

With Taron Egerton and Elton John in floods of tears at just about every press event, it was clear this film was made with a lot of love. The two performed a beautiful duet together before the film's first showing, proving that Egerton was not just an impersonator; he was the perfect casting choice.

With wonderful performances all round and amazing choreography, this is a jukebox musical done right. The songs drive the story and the scenes are fantastical pieces of genius. This is certainly not one to miss.

Chances are I’m watching a movie or replaying Mass Effect rather than doing anything productive.
