Instead of roughing it in the cold and snow of Park City, Utah, to get to various screenings at the annual Sundance Film Festival, we ventured toward the couch to watch the best of what independent cinema has to offer in 2021.
Like the other big-time fests in Toronto, New York and elsewhere did in 2020, Sundance went virtual this year because of COVID, but didn t skimp on the cinematic goodness. This year s event included the world premiere of high-profile awards-season contender Judas and the Black Messiah ; projects with stars like Tiffany Haddish, Tessa Thompson and Nicolas Cage; a ton of documentaries featuring the glam-rock duo Sparks; Hollywood legend Rita Moreno; Black Woodstock and a beloved children s show; plus a social media-driven update of Shakespeare s Romeo & Juliet.
