Stillwater director Tom McCarthy’s upcoming crime drama starring Matt Damon, has received a five-minute standing ovation at Cannes.
The overwhelmingly positive response to the movie even had Matt Damon looking teary eyed at the event as he glanced around the applauding and cheering audience.
While speeches are not traditionally given at the event, director Tom McCarthy could hardly contain himself, grabbing a mic and offering his thanks to the Cannes festival.
The cast and crew of Stillwater had already been met with a very warm welcome from attendees when they arrived at the 74th edition of Cannes.
