Screen International can reveal the critics participating in this year’s jury grid at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival (May 14-25).
Joining Screen’s reviewing team will be critics from 11 international outlets to give their verdict on the 22 films in Competition this year for the Palme d’Or.
This year’s critics are all returners to the jury grid with the exception of NT Binh who replaces Michel Ciment for France’s Positif. Ciment passed away in November last year at 85 and was a long-time contributor to the jury grid.
The selection also includes Justin Chang for The New Yorker who was recently awarded the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Criticism for his work at the Los Angeles Times.
The results of the jury grid will be published in Screen’s Cannes daily magazines as well as live updates on screendaily.com.
The 2024 Cannes jury grid critics are:
- NT Binh - Positif, France
- Robbie Collin / Tim Robey – The Telegraph, UK
- Katja Nicodemus – Die Zeit, Germany
- Ben Kenigsberg – Rogertebert.com, USA
- Anton Dolin – Meduza, International
- Peter Bradshaw – The Guardian, UK
- Stephanie Zacharek – Time Magazine, US
- Justin Chang – The New Yorker, US
- Ahmed Shawky – filfan.com, Egypt
- Mathieu Macharet – Le Monde, France
- Kong Rithdee – Bangkok Post, Thailand
- Screen International (Screen’s competition critics comprise Finn Halligan, Lee Marshall, Jonathan Romney, Tim Grierson and Wendy Ide)
After viewing the 22 films in Competition this year, critics will record a score for each on the following scale: four (excellent), three (good), two (average), one (poor), and zero (bad). These scores are then combined to produce an average, which is rounded up/down to the nearest tenth.
Last year’s jury grid was topped by Aki Kaurismäki’s Fallen Leaves on 3.2 while Lee Chang-dong’s 2018 title Burning 2018 emains the record holder with 3.8.
