“The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist” is one of the best documentaries at Sundance and an absolute must see for everyone. It timely, urgent, and funny all in equal measure and is impossible to come away from without some kind of impact.

A deeply unserious and cartoonishly satirical sledgehammer to the art world filled with over the top characters, campy dialogue, hyper stylized camera work and a largely single setting location.
“Shitheads” is at its best when it is pushing the limits and not as concerned about what it all means, letting his cast have as much fun with the material and characters as they possibly can and more than willing to accept any and all ideas.

“Hamnet” is a near masterpiece, a beautiful portrait of loss and grief and love and art gorgeously framed with intimate natural light and deep emotion. It’s one of the best films of the year.
