Matt Damon attended a celebratory dinner after the premiere of his new film Stillwater at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday night.

The actor joined co-star Abigail Breslin and other cast members, along with the film's director, after reportedly tearing up during a five minute standing ovation following the movie.

The dinner guests dined at La Terrasse restaurant in the French city, posing together for snaps on the patio. 

The men looked dapper in black tuxedos, with actress Abigail wore a floor-length green off-shoulder gown with a beaded detailing and a silken train.

Camille Cottin wore a black Dior dress, while Abigail modeled a custom Dolce & Gabbana gown.

According to Twitter, Matt - an Oscar-winning writer as well as actor - became overwhelmed with emotion at the strong reaction to the film.

He stars as a man who travels from Oklahoma to France to help his estranged daughter, as she is in prison for a murder she says she didn't commit.
