Cannes Un Certain Regard win for “Everytime”

Overview

In early August 2026, Austrian director Sandra Wollner’s third feature, the German‑Austrian drama “Everytime,” was awarded the top prize in the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival. Initial reports highlighted the film’s restrained cinematography, long quiet camera movements, and its portrayal of a mother and her daughters coping with loss after a tragic accident, noting its upcoming German theatrical release on 6 August.

A few days later, coverage of the same Cannes accolade emphasized the film’s minimalist style—long takes, sparse dialogue, and precise visual composition—as it follows a young woman’s sudden death after a Berlin rave and the family’s subsequent trip to Tenerife. Critics pointed to the film’s formal rigor and its potential to become a leading contender on the European art‑house circuit.

Together, the reports trace the immediate reception of “Everytime” at Cannes, moving from an initial focus on its emotional narrative and cinematography to a broader appraisal of its artistic approach and future festival prospects.
