Sundance 2021 might be virtual, but these 21 films are actually our most-anticipated of the fest.
Sundance Institute
Another
Sundance Film Festival is upon us, only this one will be a little different than most. The event is going mostly virtual due to the pandemic, and therefore we’re all covering remotely this year. Not that you should even notice, since the plans don’t really change anything for you the reader. As far as you know, we’re on the ground in Park City watching movies at the Egyptian Theatre and writing reviews while in line for our next screening, and delivering the buzz to you as usual.
The Horrible Human Self and The Eric Andre Show
What does it mean when the performance ends for the performers?
Adult Swim
In our new monthly column
Laughed to Death, Brianna Zigler takes a look at the way comedy and existentialism go hand-in-hand in seemingly unlikely ways. In her first entry, she examines how The Eric Andre Show finds success in exploiting “the mortifying ordeal of being known.”
In the Season 4 premiere of
The Eric Andre Show, reality TV star
Abby Lee Miller strolls out onto the sound stage. It’s no different than most celebrity appearances on Eric Andre’s subversive deconstruction of the American late-night talk show formula, but there’s something particularly unsettling about it this time.

I do not know how many moments feature on this list. I know roughly the number of films, but I do not know which one is objectively the best. We could have tried to order them, to celebrate one film a little more than the others, to crown a winner of the race. But I didn t really want to do that this year.
I am not going to explain how ludicrous this year was, or try to make sense of it. All I can do is welcome you to what I hope is one of the final lists you ll read this year, in which esteemed Quietus contributors write a tribute to their favourite moments in movies they have seen this year. I don t know if they consider the film they ve chosen to be their favourite of the whole year. I was interested in the details, the frame, the experience, the design, the line reading or whatever tiny thing they found that brought them a flicker of joy, of hope in 2020.
