The Wrap
There’s an occasional tendency among audiences, film critics and acquisitions executives to get overly enthusiastic about Sundance movies, leading to disappointment when the film is revisited away from the altitude and the atmosphere of the festival. (Not that those first impressions can’t always be trusted – I loved “Boyhood” just as much at sea level as I did in Park City.)
"Polite Society" has all the workings of a sleeper hit thanks to its blend of action, comedy, and injection of culture to make it stand out.
With the festival regaining full strength, an assortment of cinematic experiences await to captivate audiences. From Cat Person to Cassandro, here our are the ones we can't wait to take in.
'The Night House' evolves from a simple haunted house story to a chilling examination of grief, with plenty of spooky noises along the way.
