Peg Aloi
There is much to recommend in this opulently romantic film.
This is an opulent and ambitious historical drama, as attentive to small intimate scenes as it is to grandiose action sequences.
A suspenseful, finely-crafted historical thriller that reminds us that the triumph of evil depends on good men doing nothing.
This dispatch reviews three documentaries that are very different from each other, but are all fascinating and engaging. This was an excellent year for documentaries at Sundance. I will review several more before this year’s dispatches are complete.
These three Sundance films supplied very intense viewing experiences.
When given a choice, tend to choose films that are fairly harrowing to watch. The next three Sundance Fest films on my slate were often disturbing, but also powerful and inspiring on many levels.
I’ve seen a really interesting assortment of films so far. I can’t recite them all from memory, but they’re not blurring into each other, either. Not yet, anyway.
My second Sundance dispatch deals with abortion, torture and cannibalism: what a scintillating combination for a bitterly cold weekend!
The first three films I saw at the Sundance Film Festival were very high-profile premieres.
