The new psychological drama starring Robert Pattinson has been well-received by critics. While Pattinson is perhaps best known for his franchise roles including Edward Cullen in the Twilight movies, Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Bruce Wayne in The Batman, he has also starred in a variety of titles from auteur directors. This includes Robert Eggers' The Lighthouse, Christopher Nolan's Tenet, Bong Joon Ho's Mickey 17, David Cronenberg's Maps to the Stars, and Claire Denis' High Life.

Jennifer Lawrence movies have taken Pattinson's co-star on a similar career trajectory. She has held two major long-running franchise roles, playing Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games movies and Mystique in the most recent branch of the X-Men franchise, prior to the characters ing the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, she first rose to prominence off the back of her Oscar-nominated performance in 2010's Winter's Bone, and she has continued to star in more arthouse-oriented titles including Darren Aronofsky's Mother! and David O. Russell's Silver Linings Playbook (for which she won an Oscar).
