The Sundance Film Festival guide

The unofficial start of the serious movie lover’s calendar, Sundance is always reliable for hot indie debuts
Advertising

We won’t lie: The Sundance Film Festival has been good to us. Very good. In 2014, it hosted the world premiere of Richard Linklater’s mighty Boyhood. Then in 2015, it was Brooklyn and the revelatory Saoirse Ronan. Manchester by the Sea knocked us out in 2016. In 2017, Sundance delivered the euphoric Call Me by Your Name—and if that weren't enough, last year, we were traumatized by Ari Aster's game-changing Hereditary. The unifying thread? All five of those films ending up topping our respective lists for the best movies of the year. In short, we trust these curators. Time Out will be in Park City, reviewing all the buzziest titles and unexpected sensations. This page is where the reviews will be collected—bookmark it.
