A special screening of CODA put a, well, coda to the end of a successful hybrid 2023 Sundance Film Festival this week, returning to in-person screenings in Park City, Utah, after two years of virtual programming. As with that eventual Oscar Best Picture winner, the illustrious indie fest this year produced plenty of features worthy of prizes, distribution, and critical acclaim. The A.V. Club writers, both on the ground bundled in coats and safely at home watching on laptops, had plenty of favorites. Read on for some of the best offerings at this year’s Sundance—a primer, perhaps, on next year’s awards season.

There are several films on here that look intriguing, but I have to say that All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt and Little Richard: I Am Everything are at the top of my to-watch list from this festival.
Past Lives and Eileen look like good ones. Not so sure about the rest.
