The Paperboy
In 1969 Florida, reporter Ward Jansen (Matthew McConaughey) returns to his hometown to write a story about death-row inmate Hillary Van Wetter (John Cusack), who was convicted of murdering a racist lawman. Ward hires his younger brother, Jack (Zac Efron), as a driver and, together with his partner, Yardley (David Oyelowo), gets to work. Though the possibility exists that Van Wetter is innocent, Ward and Yardley unwisely trust a vixen (Nicole Kidman) who will do anything to set the convict free.

“The Paperboy” has made critics’ heads spin. Some call it a hot mess. Others call it wildly over-the-top. Others think it’s a disaster. But organizers of this year’s Cannes Film Festival thought enough of it to select it for the Palme d’Or competition.
