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

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.
