XX
Magnet is all set to release this awesome Todd Brown-produced all-female directed anthology with entries from Roxanne Benjamin (Southbound), Jovanka Vukovic (Captured Bird), Sofia Carrillo, Karyn Kusama (Girlfight), and the directorial debut of Annie Clark (aka musician St Vincent). Can't wait!
Midnight
Bitch
Marianna Palka (Good Dick) directed this SpectreVision-produced film about a housewife on the brink who thinks she's a dog. Jason Ritter, Jaime King, Brighton Sharbino, Rio Mangini, Kingston Foster and Palka herself star.
Midnight
Raw
Julia Ducournau has found nothing but love for her Cannes-premiering feature debut about a really rough veterinarian school. Focus World is bringing it to theaters March 10.
Spotlight
Reservoir Dogs
It has been 25 years since Quentin Tarantino's feature debut rocked audiences and helped really cement Sundance's place on the festival calendar. This screening will be followed by a chat with the man alongside Lawrence Bender.
From the Collection
Kuso
It's FlyLo time in this wacko feature debut from the musician/artist that we discussed in this poster debut post. This one is gonna be crazy.
Midnight
78/52
Every Sundance midnight section has a documentary, and this year's is Alexandre O. Philippe's (The People vs George Lucas) breakdown of the shower scene in Psycho. That's 78 setups and 52 cuts, natch.
Midnight
Bushwick
XYZ Films produced this Cooties follow-up from Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion. It stars Dave Bautista, Brittany Snow, Angelic Zambrana, Jeremie Harris, Myra Lucretia Taylor, and Arturo Castro and tells the tale of what happens in one serene Brooklyn neighborhood when Texas decides it's time to secede.
Midnight
Colossal
Nacho Vigalondo's kaiju/rom/fighter that stars Anne Hathaway and Jason Sudekis makes one more stop at Sundance before Tim League and Tom Quinn's new distro company Neon brings it out.
Spotlight
Bad Day for the Cut
Chris Baugh makes his directorial debut with this Northern Irish revenge thriller. Not a bad place to make it.
Midnight
Killing Ground
Damien Power's violent Aussie thriller asks what you would do if you found an abandoned camp site with a toddler. This is his first feature.
Midnight
The Little Hours
Jeff Baena returns for his third Sundance feature (Life After Beth, Joshy) with his story of medieval nuns going nuts when a new hunk comes to the convent. Alison Brie, Dave Franco, Kate Micucci, Aubrey Plaza, John C. Reilly, and Molly Shannon star.
