Jane Schoenbrun's Queer Slasher Movie 'Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma' Jolts Cannes
The film stars Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson in a satire of reboot culture, and Schoenbrun says it reflects their post-transition life.
- On Wednesday, May 13, 2026, director Jane Schoenbrun premiered their queer slasher film 'Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma' at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson.
- Reflecting on their own journey, Schoenbrun created a biting satire of reboot-mad Hollywood after struggling in the industry ten years ago before achieving festival success.
- Critics praised the 'compelling' film, which holds a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes after 31 reviews, while Time Out gave it five stars, calling Anderson's performance 'a gift that keeps on giving.'
- Schoenbrun argued that Hollywood 'can feel like a mafia' where cultural assumptions dictate commercial viability, aiming to challenge these norms through subversive, personal storytelling.
- Following the festival success, the film debuts in US cinemas on August 7, while Schoenbrun continues writing a 600-page fantasy novel guided by their 'Make it real' ideology.
