Sci-fi-thrillern 'Hope' av den sydkoreanske regissören Na Hong-jin tog emot en lång stående ovation vid sin premiär under filmfestivalen i Cannes under söndagskvällen.
Den två timmar och fyrtio minuter långa filmen, som skildrar en utomjordisk invasion i en avlägsen sydkoreansk by, möttes av entusiastiska applåder under flera actionsekvenser. Publiken förblev stående i cirka sju minuter efter att visningen avslutats i Grand Palais.
Initiala reaktioner på X lyfter fram den sju minuter långa stående ovationen för Na Hong-jins 'Hope' vid Cannes-premiären, med beröm för dess underhållande och äventyrliga genreinslag samt starka skådespelarinsatser; vissa användare uttryckte dock blandade eller skeptiska åsikter gällande dess berättande och världsbygge, och beskrev den som sin hittills minst uppskattade film på festivalen.

#Hope: LOCUROTE. Si li compres l’absurditat que planteja Na Hong-Jin, espectacle disfrutoníssim. La primera hora és història del cine. Fassbender i Vikander antològics. Sí a tot. #Cannes2026 pic.twitter.com/p0nxt0GswW

Despite its impressive production values, Na Hong-jin’s almost-3-hours-long monster slasher HOPE is lazy in story-telling and weak in world-making and not even funny. Still, clearly so many people here at Cannes got a kick out of it.

HOPE [Na Hong-jin, 2026] Cannes rarely puts genre movies in Competition but this is a lot of genre. Taut slapstick alien-invasion chase thriller, doofily allegorical mo-cap epic. Everyone in this movie is indestructible and the ending raises many, many questions. Not boring!
