From unhinged resort-horror to poetic ruralism, 'Past Lives' to 'Passages' — our picks for the 12 best movies and performances at Sundance2023
We came back
to Park City, we saw movies , we conquered. The first in-person edition of the festival since 2020, Sundance ’23 was a return to the traditional film fest experience: long lines, cheering crowds, the agony of running from one shuttle to the next and the ecstasy of being in the room where it happens. By “it,” we mean the sensation of seeing something new, bold and brilliant with an audience, feeling that collective rush hit all at once.
And make no mistake: Sundance is a festival that’s still about the movies, first and foremost. You didn’t need the constantly playing bumpers between screenings to remind you that “storytelling” remains a highly-valued currency here; that the festival has always been on the bleeding edge of giving unheard voices a chance to be heard; and that there is still a cinema that prizes actors above intellectual properties, bold new visions above brand names.
