2024 Sundance Film Festival Review: Sasquatch Sunset

Posted on January 30, 2024 by Kevin Wozniak

I wouldn’t consider directors David and Nathan Zellner’s latest film Sasquatch Sunset a great film. Heck, it might even ride the line between good and mediocre. But it is a movie I am glad exists because of the skilled filmmaking and the sheer originality. Sasquatch Sunset looks at a year in the life of a family of Sasquatch. They wander the unknown forests in search of food and shelter while trying to survive the…

2024 Sundance Film Festival Movie Review: I Saw the TV Glow

Posted on January 30, 2024 by Kevin Wozniak

I’m writing a review for Jane Schoenbrun I Saw the TV Glow but I also feel like I shouldn’t. I saw the movie at the beginning of the Sundance Film Festival, and though the festival is officially over as of writing this review, it is one of the movies I saw during the festival that I cannot stop thinking about. But also, it is a movie I think requires multiple viewings to get a…

2024 Sundance Film Festival Movie Review: Gaucho Gaucho

Posted on January 30, 2024February 1, 2024 by Kevin Wozniak

My viewing of Gaucho Gaucho, the latest documentary from filmmakers Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw, was an interesting one. At the Sundance Film Festival, there are films that you can see in person in a theater, but you also have the option to stream some of the films starting on a certain date during the festival. With scheduling conflicts with other movies, I was unable to see Gaucho Gaucho in a theater during the…

2024 Sundance Film Festival Movie Review: Skywalkers: A Love Story

Posted on January 20, 2024 by Kevin Wozniak

Skywalkers: A Love Story is Man on Wire for a new generation. It’s a heart-racing documentary about a death-defining stunt, how the stunt people do it, and what brought them to that point. It’s a love story, crime film, and underdog sports story all rolled into one outstanding documentary. Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus are a thrill-seeking couple who travel around the world to perform death-defying stunts by illegally climbing the tallest buildings in…

2024 Sundance Film Festival Movie Review – Ghostlight

Posted on January 20, 2024January 20, 2024 by Kevin Wozniak

Ghostlight was one of the first movies I saw at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and what a start to the festival it was. This is a charming, funny, deeply emotional story about a family coming together after a tragedy. Ghostlight takes place in Chicago and it is very much a Chicago movie. But it isn’t a Chicago movie like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off that features Chicago landmarks like Navy Pier or the Sears…
