Sundance Film Festival 2025: All Of Deadline’s Movie Reviews
A compilation of all of Deadline's movie reviews from the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.
Dramatic Competition Director-screenwriter: Hailey Gates Cast: Alia Shawkat, Callum Turner, Chloë Sevigny, Tim Heidecker, Jane Levy Deadline’s takeaway: Ripe with aughts nostalgia around the OG iPod, frosted lip gloss and Guy Fieri’s favorite flame-printed shirts, Atropia is ultimately a clever meditation on the atmosphere of war and division that has become increasingly commonplace in the U.S. since 9/11. Dramatic Competition Director: Rachael Holder Screenwriter: Paul Zimmerman Cast: André Holland, Nicole Beharie, DeWanda Wise, Roy Wood Jr., Cassandra Freeman, Cadence Reese Deadline’s takeaway: The lead character in this tender love letter to the borough about letting go is faced with multiple paths at a trying time in his life. Section: Midnight Director-screenwriter: Mark Anthony Green Cast: Ayo Edebiri, John Malkovich, Juliette Lewis, Murray Bartlett, Amber Midthunder Deadline’s takeaway: Opus is a poignant, self-aware critique of how new generations consume media and worship at the toxic stan culture when “anyone could be a god at any moment.” It’s ultimately hard not to find the film relatable after a week of placating to some of our time’s most talented actors and filmmakers at Sundance.
