Most Anticipated Movies at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival

Ringing in 2022 also ushers in a new lineup of films to look forward to this year, and the perfect vessel to showcase our new year of content is the Sundance Film Festival. The Festival is due to take place January 20-30, but with the threat of COVID-19 still looming large, I decided to "attend"… Continue reading Most Anticipated Movies at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival

Sundance: INGRID GOES WEST Interview w/ Aubrey Plaza, Elizabeth Olsen, O’Shea Jackson Jr., and Matt Spicer

INGRID GOES WEST is not only my favorite film from this year's Sundance, it is also the movie I can't stop thinking about weeks after leaving Park City. Directed and co-written by Matt Spicer, INGRID focuses on our social media-obsessed culture, where everyone's lives are carefully curated to look perfect. But as the cautionary tale… Continue reading Sundance: INGRID GOES WEST Interview w/ Aubrey Plaza, Elizabeth Olsen, O’Shea Jackson Jr., and Matt Spicer

Sundance Movie Review: Wilson

Adapted from a graphic novel, WILSON, directed by Craig Johnson (THE SKELETON TWINS), is unfortunately not a story about the famous volleyball from the movie CASTAWAY. Rather, it follows a gregarious curmudgeon named... believe it or not Wilson (Woody Harrelson). Wilson is one of those guys that will sit directly beside you in an otherwise… Continue reading Sundance Movie Review: Wilson

Sundance Movie Review: Band Aid

One of my favorite aspects of Sundance this year was its focus on female-driven movies, be it behind-the-scenes or in front of the camera. Nowhere was this more apparent than in the musically-driven romantic dramedy BAND AID. Zoe Lister-Jones isn't just a triple threat, she is a quintuple threat, having produced, directed, starred in, and… Continue reading Sundance Movie Review: Band Aid

Sundance Movie Review: The Discovery

January may be a notoriously bad time for movies in the rest of the world but at Sundance, the business is booming. A few days ago, I saw the cerebral, thought-provoking film THE DISCOVERY, written and directed by Charlie McDowell. I have been a huge fan of McDowell's work since I saw his vastly underrated… Continue reading Sundance Movie Review: The Discovery

Sundance Movie Review: Get Out

Every year, Sundance has a mystery midnight screening, typically of a highly-anticipated film that will be released in the next couple of months. This year, I was so excited to finally have a ticket to this event, and with good timing too as the surprise was writer/director Jordan Peele's horror/thriller GET OUT. The film is… Continue reading Sundance Movie Review: Get Out

Sundance Movie Review: Before I Fall

BEFORE I FALL, adapted from the best-selling young adult novel of the same name, is my first surprise of the Festival. Billed as MEAN GIRLS meets GROUNDHOG DAY I knew I had to give this one a try and I was definitely not disappointed. Yes, the comparison between those two movies is accurate and attention-grabbing,… Continue reading Sundance Movie Review: Before I Fall

Sundance Movie Review: The Little Hours

Sundance 2017 has officially kicked off, with my first screening being the World Premiere of THE LITTLE HOURS. Written and directed by Jeff Baena (whose films JOSHY and LIFE AFTER BETH also premiered at Sundance), I can assure you this is a movie you haven't seen before. Adapted from the series of novellas in medieval… Continue reading Sundance Movie Review: The Little Hours

Sundance Movie Review: i don’t feel at home in this world anymore.

I DON'T FEEL AT HOME IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE. is not only the longest, most grammatically correct film title I have ever seen, but also marks writer/actor Macon Blair's directorial debut. A Northern Virginia native, you may know Blair's work from his acting projects BLUE RUIN and THE GREEN ROOM with writer/director Jeremy Saulnier. In… Continue reading Sundance Movie Review: i don’t feel at home in this world anymore.
