While the Sundance Film Festival mulls a big move for 2027 , the 2025 program is under way. The event’s 41st edition kicked off January 23 in Utah, and you can look below for all of Deadline’s reviews from the fest so far.

Sundance Film Festival kicks off in Utah on Thursday. So what's the latest on its potential move to a new host city?
