What if cousin Greg, one of the most hilarious and, at the same time, despicable characters in the series Succession, were the protagonist of a film? And what if, instead of servilely savoring the crumbs left by his ruthless and wealthy family, he dedicated himself to murdering them one by one to become the sole heir? The result could be similar to this crime comedy written and directed by John Patton Ford, whose inspiration oscillates between the series created by Jesse Armstrong and the nihilistic neonoir of the Coen brothers. The references are obvious and the political discourse (the super-rich are the worst and the world would be a better place without them), as transparent as the crystalline waters in which Beckett (Glen Powell) drowns one of his cousins, a brainless broker who probably deserved it. The problem with this entertaining and original film, which continues to surprise throughout its runtime, is that it only stays on the surface of the criticism it poses against hoarding and extractivist classes, and that, despite his stellar charisma, Glen Powell seems a bit out of place as the loser and disinherited Beckett (what would the clumsy Nicholas Braun, the actor who played Greg in Succession, have done with this character?). To no one's surprise, the best thing about the film is Margaret Qualley, who has a great time embodying a dangerous femme fatale with endless legs.

This is no small feat, given that it begins by announcing the death of its protagonist, Lorenz Hart, the lyricist who forged a memorable collaboration with composer Richard Rodgers, to whom we owe milestones of musical theater such as My funny Valentine or the song that gives the film its title. But Hart, who in the film has the features of a shrunken Ethan Hawke with a prosthetic bald head, possesses enough charisma to make us forget the mournful anticipation and gladly accompany him to the bar where he takes refuge from the premiere ofOklahoma!, a show that his colleague Rodgers performed with Oscar Hammerstein. To the spite of that infidelity is added the nervousness of the imminent encounter with the young woman who has fascinated the homosexual Hart, who projects onto her a naive romantic ideal.

Margaret Qualley visited a few days ago The Tonight Show from Jimmy Fallon to promote his latest film, Honey don't, and explained that he was trying to set up a date for his mother, actress Andie MacDowell, with fellow actor Bill Murray, who was also a guest on the show. MacDowell, 67, and Murray, 74, starred in the 1993 modern comedy classic, Trapped in time"He's single. She's single. They're both like lights. Let's join them!" exclaimed Qualley, who married musician Jack Antonoff in 2023.

Margaret Qualley's second consecutive visit to the Cannes Film Festival, a year after leaving everyone clear-headed with The substance returns to the competition with the detective comedy and proudly queer Honey don't, the second installment of the trilogy of "lesbian B-movies" directed by one of the Coen brothers, Ethan (solo without his brother Joel), and written by his wife, Tricia Cooke, with whom, by the way, he forms an unconventional marriage: he is heterosexual, she herself marries men in sex houses and the two live together as a couple.
