Once again, the Cannes Film Festival is upon us, this time without COVID-19 shutting down the world like it once did, safely back in the month of May where it usually belongs (2020 was canceled altogether, and 2021 ended up being pushed to June).

The story of former fertility doctor Donald Cline is horrifying in its own right.
