Writer-director James Gray has been to the Cannes Film Festival in competition on four previous occasions with We Own the Night, The Yards, The Immigrant, and Two Lovers but has yet to walk away with a prize. Maybe the fifth time will be the charm? It certainly would be deserving as Gray comes back to his beloved New York City roots with the highly autobiographical and intriguingly titled Armageddon Time. 

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticWhen I watch a movie by the writer-director James Gray, I often have the sensation that I’m seeing two films in one: the story being told and the one hovering offscreen — the one that’s all about his aspiration to be something larger than a mere storyteller. Early Gray films like “The Yards” (2000) and “We Own the Night” (2007) were modest tales suffused with his desire to be making “a ’70s movie.” “Ad Astra” (2019) was a lavishly scaled outer-space thriller suffused with his desire to be making “2001: A Space Odyssey.”“Armageddon Time,” Gray’s eighth feature, marks a break from most of what he has done before.

Marius was one of 25 acts from across Europe (and Australia), to compete in Saturday night’s huge televised event. UK viewers were left doing a double-take through their beer goggles as Sam climbed up the leaderboard, even topping the jury vote. He eventually came second after receiving a healthy score in the public vote, as Ukraine came out on top. Unfortunately, Marius, who sang the song Boys Do Cry, received the dreaded nil points from the public, eventually finishing in 17th place.Fans tuning in saw Sam go up to console his fellow competitor, giving him a much-needed hug after the news, which Marius admitted to Metro.co.uk was ‘a real low moment.’But Marius has promised us Sam is just as wonderful away from the spotlight as he comes across on camera, as he spoke of the UK and Swiss delegations ‘coming together’ as the process continued. He shared: ‘There was friendship and then, for me, it was always important to give [Sam] space.‘Everyone knows Sam Ryder, he’s big on TikTok.
