Sundance is well underway with the first weekend in the rearview mirror. I've had the opportunity to see eight films so far at the 2026 festival, with plenty more to come. Here are my thoughts on the first three movies I've watched at Sundance. THE INCOMER On a remote island off Scotland, two siblings were appointed as protectors of the land and forced to look after themselves at a young age after their father died. Now adults, Isla (Gayle Rankin) and Sandy (Grant O'Rourke) a

It's that time of year again for the Sundance Film Festival to roll into town-- though sadly this is the last time we'll be seeing it here in Utah for the forseeable future as the next ten years the festival will be calling Boulder, Colorado its home. It's a very bittersweet experience for me to see it come to an end here as I've spent 14 years attending and covering this festival. I absolutely have loved my time doing it, and I wish it never had to end but alas all good thin

Now that the dust has settled after the Sundance 2025 Film Festival has come to a close, I have to say this was definitely a stronger festival than last year's with a really strong selection of films overall. There were very few movies I didn't enjoy on some level (I'm looking at you By Design ). Here are the ten that I loved the most. I can't wait for more audiences to get to enjoy these, hopefully sooner rather than later. 10 - THE UGLY STEPSISTER This dark retelling of the

Hooray! We've finally made it to my last movie recaps from Sundance 2025! Whew! This wasn't even one of my busier years, but it's still been crazy finding the time to recount everything. Now we've just got three more things to recap before I can share my Top Ten films from the festival. THE LEGEND OF OCHI In The Legend of Ochi , a young girl named Yuri (Helena Zengel) was raised by her father (Willem Dafoe) to fear mysterious creatures called the Ochi. One day when she finds

Saturday I got to see one of my strongest lineups of the festival with four films that I was REALLY excited for (all but Sorry, Baby were featured on my Top Ten Anticipated list for the fest, and honestly that film almost made the list but I didn't know what else to write about besides the fact that the still featured an adorable baby kitten and I was instantly sold). So let's take a look at my thoughts on a few of the most buzzed-about movies of the festival. SORRY, BABY Th

The 2025 Sundance Film Festival has finally come to a close, but I still have so many more movies to recap (at least two more posts worth...) and a final wrap-up, so please bear with me while I get through them all!!! Here are the films I saw last Friday. IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU If I Had Legs I'd Kick You is certainly one of the more difficult films to both watch and reflect upon for this year's fest. Rose Byrne gives a tour de force performance as a mom named Linda who i

The festival is nearly over now, with only one final day left for movie-watching. I'm way behind on recaps, so it's time to start chipping away at my recap list. OH, HI! Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman play a couple named Iris and Isaac who have a disagreement during their first vacation together. The disagreement? Whether or not they're actually a couple. Iris refuses to give up on the relationship and uses some unconventional methods with the hopes of convincing Isaac that th

Another year of Sundance is finally almost upon us! Tomorrow is the day, but first it's time for a sneak peek at the ten films that have me the most excited for the 2025 edition of the fest. We'll work our way up to my most anticipated and start with number 10! So without further ado... 10.
