Girls of the Sun ( French: Les filles du soleil) is a 2018 French war drama film directed by Eva Husson. It was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. [3] [1]
The film was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. [3] [1] On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 46%, based on 50 reviews, and an average rating of 5.8/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Girls of the Sun has the best of intentions, but this worthy - and thoroughly timely - story is fatally undermined by its clumsily overbearing execution." [5] Agnès Poirier noted that the film initially received "high praise at Cannes" but later "an overwhelming majority of we critics found the film appalling: dreadfully written, poorly directed, verging on obscenity for treating tragedy with Valkyrie-like music and aestheticised images".
