Sandra Hüller Stars in Pawlikowski’s Austere Postwar Road Movie Fatherland

IndieWire’s Cannes review praises Pawlikowski’s austere, elegiac Fatherland, a 1949 road trip starring Sandra Hüller as Erika Mann alongside Thomas Mann, filmed in black-and-white with minimal dialogue. The mood is chilly and restrained, anchored by Hüller’s performance; it’s visually striking and emotionally understated, runs 82 minutes, premiered at Cannes 2026, and is slated for a later MUBI release, earning a solid Grade B.
