Relief is hard to come by in today's Cannes entry The Rover, a nihilistic but familiar modern western from the director David Michod (Animal Kingdom). In the desolate Australian wasteland where we meet our grim, scuzzy leads Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson, there's no hope, no color, hardly any water, and a total absence of joy. That is, at least, until Robert Pattinson begins singing "Pretty Girl Rock."
It's ironic, then, that the best-liked part of The Rover comes when Pattinson — and the movie — gets a little lighter in the loafers. Sitting alone in his car before a major gun battle, Pattinson listens to the radio and sings along. The song is Keri Hilson's "Pretty Girl Rock," and Pattinson's dumb-dumb launches into an unexpectedly sweet falsetto, certain that no one is watching. "Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful," he croons. "Now do the pretty girl rock." Pattinson knows what it's like to be hated for his franchise-leading beauty, and the solutions are clear: He can either brush that dirt off his shoulder, or, as in The Rover, smear it all over his face.
