There’s been a lot of anticipation for this film by John Cameron Mitchell, who brought us the entertaining Hedwig and the Angry Inch and the sombre and moving Rabbit Hole. Mitchell returns to the punk territory of the former, but unfortunately with less success.
We’re in Croydon in 1977. Punk is at its height and Queen Elizabeth II is celebrating her silver jubilee. This choice of 1977 gives the director plenty of Union Jacks and street parties to set against the iconic Sex Pistols song and record cover, which he uses consistently throughout the film. Our hero is Enn (Alex Sharp): he’s being raised by his single mum, his jazz musician dad having abandoned the family ship years earlier. With his two best mates, the chubby and cerebral John (Ethan Lawrence) and the Billy Idol lookalike Vic (Abraham Lewis), the three schoolboys have embraced punk.

Hokey aliens invade the seventies British punk scene in John Cameron Mitchell’s “How to Talk to Girls at Parties,” and the results are not nearly as ridiculous as that sounds — for a while, at least. Channeling the communal intimacy of “Shortbus” and the riotous musicality of “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” Mitchell transforms Neil Gaiman’s sci-fi short story into a vibrant, edgy and at times outright goofy statement on tough antiestablishment rebels and freewheeling hippy vibes, suggesting that they’re not really all that that different.
At its center, scrawny, leather-clad punk teen Enn (Alex Sharp) veers across the grimy London suburb of Croydon alongside equally rambunctious pals John (Ethan Lawrence) and Vic (Abraham Lewis), heckling at passersby en route to a noisy concert. As English rockers The Damned blast on the soundtrack, the frame rate gets jagged and the kids seem to content to run wild in...

Now that is punk. In advance of its debut at Cannes later this week, John Cameron Mitchell’s “How to Talk to Girls at Parties” has gotten an appropriately punk rock teaser trailer. And, yes, Nicole Kidman looks amazing.
For his fourth feature, Mitchell is aiming a bit lighter than usual, thanks to his and Philippa Goslett’s adaptation of a short story by Neil Gaiman. Set in a London suburb in the 1970’s, the film follows an alien girl named Zan (Elle Fanning) who falls in love with a punk teenage boy named Enn (Alex Sharp). Relatable, right?

Kidman is on board the project as Queen Boadicea, who may or may not be more than just the impeccably dressed leader of a pack of screaming children. The film also stars Ruth Wilson, Matt Lucas and Abraham Lewis.
