This is a story of a man made of wicker. And the disruption he inadvertently causes when he turns out to be the most charming gentleman in the village. Every year the iconic Sundance Film Festival there's a couple of extremely bizarre, especially peculiar, innovative cinematic creations that are almost too weird to work. Last year there was a very not-so-good, extremely weird film about cabbage (and it being banned) called Bubble & Squeak . The extra kooky Sundance 2026 film that everyone is talking about is called Wicker - and this is a good one. It's the second feature film from talented filmmakers Alex Huston Fischer & Eleanor Wilson, the same duo that made their feature directorial debut with the peculiar sci-fi comedy Save Yourselves! at Sundance 2020. This time they have given us a fable about marriage and jealousy and gossip and intimacy in a medieval town. It's especially watchable, laugh-out-loud funny at times, and impressive in many unique ways. These...

The official awards for the 2026 Sundance Film Festival , held in Utah every January, were announced this morning at a ceremony held in person in Utah. This always marks the end of the fest, with a few days of screenings left. The festival wraps this week with at-home viewings in addition to all the in-person events. This year's line-up featured a grand total of 90 feature films, with a handful of top notch films but not as many as the years before. The main winners for 2026 include Josephine , taking home Grand Jury Prize; along with the polar bear film Nuisance Bear winning Grand Jury Prize for Documentary. The Audience Awards went to Josephine again + (the doc) American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez . I have to say - these Sundance winners are finally right on point this year. All the best films have been given some prize, especially the stand outs like Josephine and Everybody To Kenmure Street and To Hold a Mountain and many others. As always, if any of these films ...

"In the blink of an eye everything can change. So forgive often and love with all your heart." –Zig Ziglar. One of my most anticipated films at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival ( original list here ) is one of the only sci-fi films within the 2026 line-up. In the Blink of the Eye is acclaimed Pixar director (and sci-fi geek) Andrew Stanton's first live-action feature film since making John Carter (which I am a big fan of) back in 2012. This long-awaited triptych feature is based on The Black List screenplay of the same name, written by screenwriter Colby Day . I'm very happy I had a chance to see this on the big screen at the world premiere at Sundance in the famous Eccles Theatre – especially since it's going out direct-to-streaming on Hulu in February when Searchlight Pictures releases it. While I do think it deserves the chance to be experienced & enjoyed on the big screen, and they should let it play in theaters for a little bit, it is also the kind o...
