- European Film Academy president Agnieszka Holland criticised the decision to screen Tchaikovsky's Wife in the 2022 Cannes main competition, saying director Kirill Serebrennikov used the film's press conference to praise a Russian oligarch and compare Russian soldiers' tragedy to Ukrainian defenders.
- Tchaikovsky's Wife was the only Russian film selected to the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, where it was presented in the festival's main competition.
