The 41st Sundance Film Festival saw a buzz of muted enthusiasm as many attendees felt this year was underwhelming compared to past festivals. There were whispers of potential relocation to Salt Lake City, which added to the bittersweet atmosphere. Critics voiced concerns over the disappointing reception of several anticipated films, citing a shrinking pool of quality mid-tier projects, likely linked to the festival's shift in focus toward awards qualities. While some Sundance titles still land Oscar nominations, the overall impression is that the festival may be losing its edge.
A consensus among attendees was that this year's Sundance Film Festival felt lackluster, with many higher-profile titles disappointing. "This was a bad Sundance year," admitted one critic.
The decreasing quality of the mid-tier films showcased and a shift in focus towards awards seasons has led to a smaller pool of exceptional projects at Sundance.
