And also…
Those are our 10 favorite films of the festival, but we saw more too.
Smile is a new horror film from Paramount that opens this week and left us far from smiling (read our review here). Tropic is a French sci-fi film about two brothers training to be astronauts that takes some very interesting turns but ends up underwhelming. Vesper is an indie sci-fi film about a young girl attempting to save her sick father in a technologically advanced, post-apocalyptic world. It has its moments but ultimately feels smaller than it wants to be. And then there’s Project Wolf Hunting, the most violent film we saw at the festival which has not one, but two fun premises, neither of each quite work. You can read our review of that one here.
