Here are The A.V. Club's most anticipated films from Sundance 2025, ranging from intimate documentaries to oddball fairy tale horrors.
From a medieval take on looksmaxxing to a gentle anthology about a lakeside community, there's plenty to be excited for in Park City.
The penultimate Sundance Film Festival held in Park City, Utah—and the first held since the fest announced that it was shopping around for a new home—2025’s edition begins a two-year farewell to the slopes by rolling out a familiar slate of documentaries, daring NEXT selections, indie dramas with exactly one high-profile star, and international cinema that’s often sold short in favor of the stateside selections.
We’ll be covering Sundance 2025 from the similarly frigid tundra of Chicago, publishing reviews and dispatches over the course of the fest’s run from January 23 to February 2. But ahead of the kickoff, intrepid fest-goers can whet their cinematic appetites with tantalizing teases about sucked-into-a-video-game dramas, warped fairy tales, charming gender-affirming doctor docs, and sun-kissed small-town anthologies with our preview.
The female body is the source of sexual and medical transgression in Georgian filmmaker Dea Kulumbegashvili’s harrowing sit-and-stare dramalingers on images more unrelenting than any horror film—including those of actual childbirth. Its slow pace, quiet perseverance, and unflinching gaze construct an oppressive atmosphere reflective of a woman’s place in this controlling society.
