From May to December, the Oscar race heats up with nominations becoming the main topic of conversation amongst film geeks. In recent years, the winner of the coveted Palm D’Ore, or Best Picture, at Cannes Film Festival, it will solidify a Best Picture nomination. In 2023, Peter Sarsgaard won the Best Actor prize at the Venice Film Festival, which made him the frontrunner to be nominated for an Oscar. Unfortunately, by the time Oscar season came around, his win became a memory, no pun intended, in the minds of the academy. This isn’t the first time that a great performance has gotten overlooked. Plus, not only do we get to see his work, but the effort of Jessica Chastain. This was the first film, post her Oscar win, that she starred in. How good are they here? Was Sarsgaard robbed? Is the film any good?
