"My Policeman lacks everything: energy, surprises, good performances, and an interesting story.

A hollow, dull, instantly forgettable movie that fails to deliver anything of merit. Harry Styles reveals many problems when a scene needs to be carried by him, even turning dramatic moments into laughable line deliveries. The older cast saves this from a total disaster by trying to sail the whole film to safe harbor.

Not only is it by far the worst movie of the festival, but it's also difficult to find similar competition in 2022."

Rating: D-
