Monsters and Men (U.S. Dramatic Competition)
About: After a black street hustler is wrongly gunned down by a white police officer, three men deal with the aftermath in their own way. Young father Manny (Anthony Ramos) filmed the incident and faces pressure from police; a cop (John David Washington) has to wrestle with the fallout; and a bright sports hopeful (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) finds himself at a moral crossroads.
Buzz: An emphatic standing ovation followed the world premiere at Sundance's Eccles Theater, and we spotted a lot of voting slips with top marks for the movie. This urgent drama looks set to spark discussion when it makes it to theaters and streaming platforms in the U.S. and around the world.
