The Best of Sundance 2026: Top Films, Breakouts, and Award Winners from the Final Park City Festival
Sundance 2026 delivered one last cinematic dump (in a good way, like powder on a snow-barren mountain) before packing up and leaving Park City for good. From chilling headphone horror to sex comedies with emotional rot, audacious midnight freakouts to quietly devastating documentaries, this year’s lineup proved that the festival still has what it takes...

Sundance ‘26: ‘NUISANCE BEAR’ Sees Man and Beast Interests at Odds
This is not a story of extinction. If Cocaine Bear (also “based on a true story”) gives us a deranged cautionary tale about mankind’s reckless interference with animal instincts, Nuisance Bear offers the quieter, more unsettling counterpoint: what happens when animals start showing up in human spaces not out of curiosity, but desperation.

Sundance ‘26: ‘JOSEPHINE’ Is a Feel Bad Movie Through the Eyes of a Child
It’s the job of parents to keep kids safe. But that doesn’t mean safety is ever really within their control.
