11 Things We Learned At Sundance 20181 of 11
There Has Been No Breakout Hit … Yet
Sundance has long been a festival where indie Oscar contenders are first showcased. Last year alone featured Get Out, The Big Sick, and Call Me by Your Name, all of which are up for Academy Awards. But while there are noteworthy, transformative performances from the likes of Joaquin Phoenix in Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot and Garrett Hedlund in Burden, there has been no standout movie that critics are predicting will go all the way. But the festival runs until Jan. 28. So, there may be a surprise yet.
