Sundance: Told ya so…

Unless you’re also a party-goer, time at Sundance is divided into three activities: watching films, standing in lines, and putting on and taking off gloves, hat, scarves, balaclavas, gaiters, Yaktrax, etc. The good thing about standing in line is that you have plenty of time to read the free magazines, like EW or Daily Variety.

While waiting to see the Czech film “Four Suns” this morning at 8:30, I read the Variety review by Justin Chang of “Safety Not Guaranteed” starring Mark Duplass. Turns out Justin loved it, too.

He calls it “a small movie with a big heart,” an “oddball comedy about love as the ultimate risky adventure.” Other phrases I appreciated include “kooky premise,” “endearingly scrappy,” “fast and funny rhythm,” and “exhilarating finale.”

Gee, wish I’d said that!

I’m off to my ninth film this afternoon. It’s started to snow again. Watching a good film with 486 new friends at the Library is definitely the place to be.
