ScreenCrave - The Sundance Film Festival is full of emotional relationship dramadies, but so many of them feel like writers and directors working out their emotional issues from their own relationships. By using their movies as a cathartic opportunity to whine about their breakups, they miss the chance to connect with audiences and speak to the human condition and shared experiences. But that is not the case with Lee Toland Krieger’s Celeste and Jesse Forever. The film, which stars The Office‘s Rashida Jones and SNL’s Andy Samberg, is not about the pain of ending a long, substantial relationship, but about the way we’re forced to move on and grow as a result.
"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.
