“Prime Time,” initially, opens with a beguiling premise. It’s New Year’s Eve in Poland, and the world is mere hours from the year 2000, a new millennium.

In a television station, amidst the glamorous bystanders adorned in fur coats and evening fineries, is an apprehensive Sebastian (Bartosz Bielenia).

A kid dressed in an oversized jacket and baseball cap concerned with his desperate mission. That night Mira (Magdalena Poplawska), a primadonna television host, is auctioning off prizes like a spanking new car to viewers whilst people celebrate worldwide.

‘Mayday’: Grace Van Patten Shines In A Dreamy Fairy Tale Of Escape & Feminist Revenge [Sundance Review]
Female trauma’s been given a serious workout in cinema, liberally exercised in the fantasy genre of late. The celebrated “Promising Young Woman,” while dark satire, uses hot pink revenge fantasy to acerbically explore unresolved trauma (its we live in a society bias nicely unpacked here), and fellow Sundance film, “The Blazing World,” attempts to fall down the rabbit hole of make-believe and similar flight-or-flight responses to emotional scars, only to grotesquely exploit it with its awkward tumble.

‘Philly D.A.’ Is A Fascinating Profile Of Progressive Politics In Action [Sundance Review]
What does dismantling the American carceral state look like? How can meaningful and radical police reform actually be enacted? After years of tireless work by activists, acting upon decades of injustice against the poor and People of Color, these issues of now part of mainstream political platforms. On a federal level, President Joe Biden’s recent executive order to phase out the use of private, for-profit prisons is a clear indication of how far things have come….and how much further they need to go.

‘The Blazing World’ Treats Female Trauma Like An Amusement Park Funhouse [Sundance Review]
Curious is the current emphasis on women’s trauma in American genre film—the way it’s discussed online, marketed, singled out in the headlines—as if trauma were not already deeply embedded in the historical fabric of horror movies. Of course, in a time when more women filmmakers than ever are being given the opportunity to tell their stories, the rise of feminist horror should come as no surprise, especially given the #MeToo phenomenon and efforts to destigmatize mental illness.

‘Human Factors’: Ronny Trocker’s Mystery Gets Lost In Its Non-Linear Structure [Sundance Review]
Freely utilizing a non-linear structure, with mixed results, Ronny Trocker’s sophomore feature, “Human Factors,” is a compelling puzzle-box, showcasing a botched home robbery from five different points-of-view, that never fully synthesizes its twisty structure with a realized narrative. Filmed with an ironic detachment that recalls the work of Michael Haneke, “Human Factors” labyrinthian time-jumps, which freely move backward and forward at a moment’s notice to disorienting results, are more interesting to unpack after the credit roll than they are to keep track of at the moment.

‘Land’: Robin Wright Directs Herself Through A Familiar Wilderness Grieving Process [Sundance Review]
Take the nomad out of “Nomadland,” and you’re left with “Land,” Robin Wright‘s feature-directing debut (she previously directed 10 episodes of “House of Cards“), in which she also stars, as a grieving woman who, somewhat ironically given the film bows in the era of mandatory isolation, moves way up into the mountains “to get away from people.” Problem is, take the nomadic element out of “Nomadland” (she moves only once and has done with it) and you’re also left with a less interesting, much more obvious movie, in which not only are we not introduced to a radically different way of living, we’re ultimately confirmed in our safest and most simplistic assumptions about how we live right now.

‘The Dog Who Wouldn’t Be Quiet’: A Visually Rich Exploration Of Economic Inequality [Sundance Review]
Literally opening, as the title implies, with “The Dog Who Wouldn’t Be Quiet,” Argentinian director Ana Katz’s melancholic rumination on the life of Sebastian (Daniel Katz, the filmmaker’s brother), a languishing writer turned migrant worker, is a visually stunning, but oftentimes opaque experiment. Filmed in lush black and white, with animated interludes used to portray the more devastating aspects of Sebastian’s life, Katz’s film unfurls as a series of vignettes.

‘Glitch In The Matrix’: Rodney Ascher Makes A Computer-Haunted Doc About Those That Believe ‘The Matrix’ Is Real [Sundance Review]
Rodney Ascher’s computer-haunted documentary “A Glitch in the Matrix” is not the most insightful recent examination of boredom-born foggy Internet delusions. That honor likely goes to Arthur Jones’ antic “Feels Good Man.” Still, Ascher’s appropriately discombobulating stew of queasiness, comedy, and terror seems well-cued to the subject matter, even while missing a certain editorial sharpness that might have brought some of its notions into greater clarity.

After a renowned career of nearly four decades in both film and TV, actor Robin Wright makes a confident feature directorial debut with “Land,” screening this year as part of Sundance Film Festival’s Premieres line-up. An assured, brawny film that melds together a character study, a friendship tale, and a story of survival inside a modern-day Western of sorts, “Land” follows Edee (Wright), a woman that goes off the grid to a mountain in Wyoming to make a fresh, solitary start after experiencing unspeakable tragedy.

What does one even make of Ben Wheatley, at this point? That the same director is responsible for films as wildly divergent as “Sightseers,” “A Field in England,” “Free Fire,” “Happy New Year, Colin Burstead,” and last year’s “Rebecca” remake should be impressive – the variations present, in genre and tone, indicated a good old-fashioned journeyman director, and three cheers for that.
