As I mentioned last week, here is the collected worth (thus far) of my adventures with the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.

Here are some quick stats:

  • I’ve seen 14 films

  • 4 Documentaries

  • Saturday was easily the craziest day with a total of 5 films screened

  • No movie I’ve watched during Sundance has been over 2 hours long

I have plans to watch a few more films before the end of the festival, but I’m reaching the end of it now. Enjoy the content below and next week I’ll be back with a more traditional post.


Linked below are four different pages that have reviews for three films on each. Please check them out and share them.
