- FRESH. When casual meet-cutes merge with gruesome discoveries, you’re left with one fascinating recipe for a horror film. That’s what you get with FRESH, a story about a girl who is exhausted by the modern dating scene.
- Dual. After receiving a terminal diagnosis, Sarah (Karen Gillan) opts for a cloning procedure to ease her loss on her friends and family. When she makes a sudden and miraculous recovery, her attempts to decommission her clone fail, leading to a court-mandated duel to the death.
- Master. At an elite New England university built on the site of a Salem-era gallows hill, three women strive to find their place. Gail Bishop (Regina Hall), just instated as “Master,” a dean of students, discovers what lies behind the school’s immaculate facade; first-year student Jasmine Moore (Zoe Renee) confronts a new unwelcoming home; and literature professor Liv Beckman (Amber Gray) collides with colleagues who question her right to belong.
- Phoenix Rising. The two-part documentary follows actress and activist Evan Rachel Wood as she takes her experience as a survivor of domestic violence to pursue justice, heal generational wounds, and reclaim her story.

- Beyond Utopia. When you watch Madeleine Gavin’s staggering documentary about what really goes on in North Korea, and about a handful of desperate souls who attempt to defect from it, you witness the glum dystopia of Kim Jong-un’s cult prison state — the full nightmare of it — as never before.
- Cassandro. Thanks to the dream casting of Mexican star Gael García Bernal as “the Liberace of Lucha Libre,” “Cassandro” arrives with a kind of instant credibility.
- Cat Person. The New Yorker short story “Cat Person” invited debate, engaging directly with the gray areas of modern dating. Susanna Fogel and screenwriter Michelle Ashford make the surprising choice of treating the material more as genre fare than as a traditional rom-com, where the meet-cute isn’t and what follows is no one’s idea of a date movie.
- The Disappearance of Shere Hite. “Crip Camp” director Nicole Newnham’s extraordinary new documentary is an astonishing, beautifully made corrective to the cultural amnesia that has for decades surrounded the author of “The Hite Report” — a former model who had a casual, soft-spoken way of deploying words like “clitoris,” “penetration” and “masturbation” that, back then, seemed to make everyone uncomfortable but her.

Year: 2002 Director:Nick Broomfield Watch on Sundance Now From its very first moments, Biggie & Tupac—a sort of truther’s glimpse into the murders of rappers Notorious BIG and 2Pac—is an exceptionally strange film. Director and narrator Nick Broomfield speaks in a clipped cadence, as if English isn’t his first language, and Earth isn’t his home pla...
Year: 2016 Directors:Agnès Varda, JR Watch on Sundance Now The best road movie of 2016 was this delightful film from New Wave pioneer Agnès Varda and photographer JR. The odd-couple contrast between co-directors is physically striking—she’s a woman, he’s a man; he’s much taller and younger than she—but they’re aligned in their desire to document th...
Year: 2010 Director: Taika Waititi Stars: Taika Waititi, James Rolleston, Te Aho Aho Eketone-Whitu Rating: R Runtime:88 minutes Watch on Sundance Now At one point the highest-grossing New Zealand film at the country’s box office, Taika Waititi’s sophomore feature (after making his wobbly indie debut with Eagle vs Shark) gives us the writer/director...
Year: 2011 Director: Kelly Reichardt Stars: Michelle Williams, Shirley Henderson, Paul Dano, Bruce Greenwood, Zoe Kazan Rating: PG Runtime:104 minutes Watch on Sundance Now Leave it to Kelly Reichardt to reclaim the Western for women. Western movies tend to be seen as “guy” affairs, less so now in 2017 than in years past; they are manly products ab...
Year: 2012 Directors:David Gelb Watch on Sundance Now Jiro Dreams of Sushi is about one of the greatest masters of the culinary world, one of whom casual foodies have never even heard. Although Jiro’s work—literally, the dishes he so effortlessly prepares, and then the act of watching him as he watches his customers eating the dishes—is ostensibly ...
Year: 2014 Director: Destin Cretton Stars: Brie Larson, Rami Malek, Lakeith Stanfield, Melora Walters, Stephanie Beatriz, Alex Calloway, Kaitlyn Dever, John Gallagher Jr. Rating: R Runtime:97 minutes Watch on Sundance Now As it progresses, Short Term 12 remains rigorously structured in terms of plot; yet it never feels calculated. In fact, the film...
Year: 1984 Director: Jonathan Demme Genre: Documentary, Musical Rating: NR Runtime:99 minutes Watch on Sundance Now Lester Bangs once wrote an essay about “Heaven,” the Talking Heads song that in so many ways epitomizes and holds aloft Jonathan Demme’s concert film. In it, Bangs fixated on one of David Byrne’s iconic lines: “Heaven is a place where...
Year: 1994 Director:Kelly Reichardt Watch on Sundance Now When it comes to discussing the films of Kelly Reichardt, most people tend to forget about River of Grass, her debut feature from 1994, a whole 12 years before her sophomore effort, Old Joy, would put her on many critics’ radars. Certainly, anyone expecting the social consciousness of Old Jo...
Year: 2016 Director: Keith Maitland Watch on Sundance Now The 1966 University of Texas clock tower shooting ought to be a footnote in American history and not a reference point for contemporary national woes. That Tower, documentary filmmaker Keith Maitland’s animated chronicle-cum-reenactment of that massacre, should feel as relevant and of the mo...
Year: 2005 Director: Noah Baumbach Stars: Jeff Daniels, Laura Linney, Jesse Eisenberg, Owen Kline, Anna Paquin Rating:R Watch on Sundance Now Borrowing themes from his previous films—children of failed marriages; characters whose bookish smarts seem to work against them; a floating sense of fatalism—The Squid and the Whale creeps ever closer to Noa...
