Robert Pattinson’s starring role in A24’s “Primetime,” where he plays Chris Hansen, receives a standing ovation following its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival. Deadline reports an approximately nine-minute ovation, while Variety describes it as about seven minutes, reflecting differences in accounts of the length of the audience response.
The film presents a thriller premise built around Hansen, a journalist and TV host associated with “To Catch a Predator.” Both outlets note the setting of the premiere at Venice and emphasize Pattinson’s immersive performance as Hansen. Attendees reported by Deadline include Chloé Zhao, Amanda Seyfried, and Mona Fastvold, as well as Pattinson’s partner, Suki Waterhouse, who is also referenced by Variety in connection with Pattinson’s on-stage interaction.
Overall, the outlets agree on the core event—“Primetime” debuts at Venice and prompts a prolonged standing ovation—but differ on the precise duration and include different details about who was in attendance and specific moments observed during the premiere.
