As excited as I was for the Cannes films in the Main Competition, I always look forward to the sidebar sections with just as much, if not more, anticipation. “The Chronology of Water,” “My Father’s Shadow,” “Pillion,” and “Urchin” all premiered in Un Certain Regard last year, while Critics’ Week was the home of “A Useful Ghost,” “Left-Handed Girl,” and “Nino.” This dispatch contains reviews for two films in the Director’s Fortnight Section and one film in Critics’ Week that may go down as not only the best film of the festival, but one of the best films to grace…

Modern sticks allow players to shoot faster, handle the puck quicker, and release shots in ways that simply weren’t possible with older wood or aluminum shaft setups. But somewhere along the way, the hockey world started assuming that lighter automatically means better. I don’t think that’s true anymore. The better…
