Robert Pattinson The Lighthouse wins Critics’ Award at Cannes 2019

From Variety:

Robert Eggers’ “The Lighthouse,” with Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson, won the Cannes Film Festival critics’ award for best first or second feature in Directors’ Fortnight and Critics’ Week, one of the first prizes for which “The Lighthouse” has been eligible at Cannes.

…

The Fipresci honor for “The Lighthouse” marks another plaudit for Eggers, who is rapidly emerging as a major talent in many critics’ view, as well as for one of the best-reviewed of movies in any section at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Variety called “The Lighthouse” “darkly exciting” and “made with extraordinary skill,” commenting that “the movie, building on ‘The Witch,’ proves that Robert Eggers possesses something more than impeccable genre skill. He has the ability to lock you into the fever of what’s happening onscreen.”

Robert Pattinson “The Lighthouse” and “Waiting for the Barbarians” Could be in the 2020 Oscar / Bafta Race

Screen Daily has included The Lighthouse and Waiting for the Barbarians in its early predictions for the 2020 Baftas and Oscars:

Further US contenders come in the guise of horror The Lighthouse from Robert Eggers (The Witch) and starring Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson; James Mangold’s Ford v. Ferrari starring Christian Bale and Matt Damon; and Scott Z. Burns’ The Report with Adam Driver, which was acquired by Amazon at Sundance for around $14m. Tom Hooper’s star-studded Cats adaptation, could also make a splash, especially in the music and tech categories, while Ciro Guerro’s English-language JM Coetze adaptation Waiting For The Barbarians,starring Johnny Depp, Robert Pattinson and Mark Rylance, seems likely to be in the conversation.  [My emphasis]
