Dupieux’s Full Phil Falters as a Surreal Cannes Two-Hander

TL;DR
At Cannes, Quentin Dupieux’s 78-minute surreal two‑hander Full Phil, starring Woody Harrelson and Kristen Stewart, is visually lush and sprinkled with Dupieux’s oddball touches, but the review finds the relationship at its center thin and repetitively written. Despite a few mischievous moments and a late attempt to deepen the father–daughter dynamic, the film largely stalls, leaving both leads to carry material that never fully connects. It premieres at Cannes, seeks U.S. distribution, and earns a cautious C+ rating.
