Bi Gan’s Resurrection received a mix of scores on Screen International’s Cannes Jury Grid, for an overall average of 2.4.
The science fiction detective film, divided into six chapters and starring Jackson Yee and Shu Qi, earned two four-stars (excellent), from Positif’s NT Binh and The New Yorker’s Justin Chang, as well as four three-stars (good). However, four two-stars (average), a one (indigent) and a zero (bad) from Filfan.com’s Ahmed Shawky saw it end up mid-table on the grid.

The film is Gan’s first appearance in Competition at Cannes, after Long Day’s Journey Into Night debuted in Un Certain Regard in 2018.
Also landing on the grid was Saeed Roustaee’s drama Woman And Child, which stars Parinaz Izadyar and Payman Maadi and follows a widowed mother who must confront feelings of betrayal after a tragic accident.
It also earned a range of scores, with a four-star from The Telegraph duo Robbie Collin and Tim Robbie, and two three-stars, but the other scores were a mix of one and two-stars, with its average a low 1.9.
Back in 2022, Roustaee’s Leila’s Brothers earned a 2.3 average.
Just two titles are left to go on the grid: the Dardenne brothers’ Young Mothers, and Kelly Reichardt’s The Mastermind.
The films to beat are still Two Prosecutors and It Was Just An Accident, in joint top spot with 3.1.
