Release
The film was scheduled to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2022, but it was pulled from the festival after in-person screenings were cancelled in response to a surge in COVID-19 cases. It was subsequently announced that it would premiere at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. Originally scheduled on 15 June 2022, the nationwide release in France was moved up to 17 May 2022, the same day as the festival premiere.

Hazanavicius at first said it was too late to change the title but he made sure that the film would be referred to exclusively by the international title, 'Final Cut', during the festival. However, on 25 April 2022, it was announced that the French title was changed to .
