ONE FOR THE ROAD: The director of Bad Genius and producer Wong Kar-wai team up for a sweet but soapy romantic cancer melodrama that's more The Bucket List than In the Mood for Love.

HOMEROOM: Peter Nicks' vérité doc about Oakland High's 2020 senior class overcomes seemingly insurmountable hurdles to end his trilogy about the city's public institutions (The Waiting Room + The Force) on a powerful & personal note.

I WAS A SIMPLE MAN: Constance Wu co-stars in a hushed and haunting Hawaiian ghost story that swirls Uncle Boonmee and late Ozu vibes into something all its own. easily my favorite #Sundance premiere so far this year.

IN THE EARTH: Ben Wheatley's COVID movie, about a scientist and a park ranger who get lost in the woods and then OH NO OH DON'T GO IN THERE OH NO WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING TO JOEL FRY'S FOOT?! is a wicked return to form.

MOTHER SCHMUCKERS aka Jackass dans le Metro: gross-out Belgian comedy feels like a Dardenne brothers movie remade by Jake and Logan Paul. starts with someone puking the title on the lens, ends with… something a lot worse. no thx!

ON THE COUNT OF THREE: Jerrod Carmichael's buddy comedy about a suicide pact sounds potentially glib and dangerous on paper but — thanks in part to a super endearing and hilarious Christopher Abbott(!?!?) — it's… so good.

MASS: parents of a school shooter and one of his victims sit in a church basement, find privacy, seek forgiveness. small as can be and a tough sell, but Ann Dowd, Jason Isaacs, Martha Plimpton, and Reed Birney all terrific.

WILD INDIAN: Michael Greyeyes is tortured & terrifying as a sociopathic Ojibwe man living out the residual violence of being cut off from his heritage, but the airless movie around him might be a bit too severe for its own good.

THE SPARKS BROTHERS: Edgar Wright succeeds where the likes of Jacques Tati, Tim Burton, Ingmar Bergman & Leos Carax died or failed or were already dead or haven't quite been able to succeed yet and brings Sparks to the screen. so fun.
