Sundance 2018

The committee has learned from the previous festival's mistakes of too many comedies and political documentaries and become more about dramas and social documentaries (though I'm convinced that men's rights activists will find a way to get the Gloria Allred documentary screenings canceled as they love to play the persecution card) but otherwise, it just looks like more films that Netflix will buy by the truckload, things that won't make a dime (another Aubrey Plaza film, a dystopian film about telemarketers, an Americanized remake of The Kindergarten Teacher), and films that don't speak to their audience. In addition, no Call Me by Your Name/Get Out type movie in the bunch (maybe Monster or Brett Haley's musical becomes this movie but both have question marks).
Lastly, does anyone else find it odd that the Next umbrella has films from filmmakers who've had previous films released (I noticed at least two)?
