Your requests have been heard and we are delighted to reveal a further three films joining our Early Announcements. Featuring Lynne Ramsay's Cannes award-winner You Were Never Really Here, the deeply moving Disobedience and the highly anticipated Lucky, this year's line-up is already proving to be a bountiful bouquet of fine cinema.

Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams in Disobedience

Rachel Weisz stars as a black sheep drawn back to her London Orthodox Jewish home, rekindling sparks with a childhood friend (Rachel McAdams) in the English-language debut of the director of Gloria and A Fantastic Woman.

“A quietly profound exploration of identity, sacrifice, and the connection all human beings long for, whether or not their God or their family or their community approves.” — Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly

Farewell Harry Dean Stanton: Lucky

After an idiosyncratic career of iconic roles for everyone from Wim Wenders to David Lynch, the late Harry Dean Stanton hangs up his hat with this wryly funny, affecting character study in Lucky.

“Everything Harry Dean Stanton has done in his career, and his life, has brought him to his moment of triumph in Lucky, an unassumingly wonderful little film about nothing in particular and everything that’s important.” — Joe Leydon, Variety

From Cannes (2017): You Were Never Really Here

Lynne Ramsay, director of Ratcatcher and We Need to Talk About Kevin, teams with Joaquin Phoenix for a startling, nerve-shredding thriller about a brutal hitman contracted to save an abducted teen.

“Lynne Ramsay’s disquieting and skilfully crafted thriller doesn’t let us off the hook.” — Stephanie Zacharek, Time Magazine
