It’s time for the Best of the Fest- 10 of the top films we were able to see during the Sundance Film Festival 2023.

Knock at the Cabin” rips, delivering a sustained, engaging, and rather disturbing thriller that is sure to keep you entertained and on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
It’s quite a wonder that a film like “The Amazing Maurice” has received zero marketing of any kind whatsoever. It’s based on an award winning children’s novel, has a stellar celebrity voice cast, and feels right in line with some of the rather strong animated offerings we’ve had in the last few months.

Love him or hate him, Cage is guaranteed to always give you 100% Cage. It’s almost impossible to find a movie in his very long filmography that you can point to and say he phoned it there. He operates at 11 out of 10 at all times, whether it works…
