Gossip Sauce Sundance Summary

We just returned home to LA to find a stack of mail, a DVR busting at the seams and a fridge so pathetically empty, we might have to eat baking soda for breakfast.

Our time in Sundance has come to an end, snowy summer camp is over and we’re already feeling the withdrawal.

There is a certain pulsating mania in Sundance that is magical. Five films a day, meals consisting of sugarfree Red Bull and Krispy Kremes, bathroom celebrity sighting and weather so cold it makes your jaw numb and your teeth hurt had become the norm for us.

We’ll miss you, Park City. Thanks for the memories…and the hot cider with rum.

Until next year, here are the best and worst films we saw...

Best:
500 Days of Summer (which we predict will turn our boy Joseph Gordon-Levitt into a major movie star)

Brooklyn’s Finest (which we predict will be nominated for Oscars)

Adam (which made us cry for hours even after we'd left the theater)

The September Issue (which made us want to intern at Vogue and be BFF's with Andre Leon Talley and Grace Coddington)

Good Hair (which reminded us of the days when we prayed for afro puffs every night but still woke up with plain ol' wavy blonde hair)

The short, Short Term 12 (which is the reason Sundance exists. Destin Cretton, who won Best Short, is going to be a name to remember)

Honorable Mention: Humpday (which, according to other festival goers, was fantastic. We were never able to catch a screening because of scheduling issues but we give them an unofficial stamp of approval)

Worst:
Big Fan (which is excruciating from start to finish, the kind of film that gives indies a bad name)

The Informers (ditto, but this one has an all-star cast, every one of whom should be ashamed to have their name attached to a film whose only redeeming moments revolve entirely around Amber Heard's partial nudity)
