Irish film The Killing of a Sacred Deer picked up an award for Best Screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival.
The jury handed out two Best Screenplay awards – one for The Killing of a Sacred Deer and another for You Were Never Really Here.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer stars Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman, and was directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.

The film, which was co-produced by Dublin based film company Element Pictures, has received rave reviews since premiering at the festival.
However, the person everyone has been talking about is former Love/Hate star Barry Keoghan – as he’s received the most praise for his role in the movie.
The young actor was in his element last week, as he was pictured posing on the red carpet alongside major star Nicole Kidman.
