Cara Delevingne and Jordan Firstman shared a memorable moment on the red carpet during the New York City premiere of their new film, Club Kid. The co-stars and friends were spotted exchanging a kiss while posing for photographers at the Regal Union Square theater on Thursday night, October 29.
The event was attended by several cast members, including Reggie Absolom, Colleen Camp, Saturn Risin9, Miss Benny, Alaska Riley, and Jack Cameron Kay. The film, distributed by A24, marks a significant milestone for Firstman, who not only stars in the project but also wrote the screenplay and is making his directorial debut.
Club Kid follows a hard-partying New York City club promoter whose whirlwind lifestyle is disrupted by the arrival of a 10-year-old son he never knew he had. Critics have responded positively to the film, with TheWrap describing it as an earnest and heartwarming look at parenting realities within unconventional lifestyles. THR praised the project as a confident and stylish directorial debut that maintains an agreeable pace.
IndieWire awarded the film an A-, noting its potential to exceed expectations beyond its niche scope. The publication highlighted Firstman's transition from an ironic online persona to a sincere storyteller capable of blending heart with humor. Currently, Club Kid holds a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 65 reviews.
The strong critical reception has generated significant Oscar buzz for the upcoming theatrical release scheduled for November 6. Industry predictions suggest Firstman is in contention for nominations for Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor, and Best Director, while the film itself is considered a contender for Best Picture.
