Sundance Festival 2013: My Picks

The Sundance Film Festival runs from 17th January 2013 to 27th January 2013 which is an exhibition of many films from independent film makes. Many films are looking to be picked up by distributors so they can be released to a wide theatrical audience.

Robin Wright and Naomi Watts

Two Mothers: Set on the coast of Australia, Robin Wright and Naomi Watts play two mothers who end up conducting affairs with each others son. A fascinating yet possibly disturbing film looks set to be played out.

Valentine Road: A documentary that looks at the 2008 murder of a high school student in his classroom by another student. A case of a neo-nazi youngster shooting a gay teenager is investigated in depth in what was a shocking crime that is becoming all to prevalent in America these days.

Mia Wasikowska

Stoker: South Korean director Park Chan-Wook presents his English language debut about a strange Uncle  (Matthew Goode) who moves in with a widow (Nicole Kidman) and her daughter (Mia Wasikowska). The film has no relation to Bram Stoker either.

Lovelace: An ensemble cast comes together for a biopic about renowned porn star Linda Lovelace who was also known as 'Deep Throat'. Amanda Seyfried is the surprising choice for the lead role.

The East: An FBI agent is tasked with infiltrating a dangerous anarchic gang but finds herself sympathizing with the gang who intends to bring down the corporation. Brit Marling plays the FBI agent whilst Juno star Ellen Page also appears.

After Tiller: The murder of Doctor George Tiller in America meant there was only four medical professionals that were willing to perform late-term abortions in the whole country. His former colleagues explain why they still do what they do despite the heavy protests and threats of violence against them.

Don Jon's Addiction: 'Don' Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a man who has no problems meeting women for one-night stands but is more interested in watching porn than anything else. He has everything in his life except love, Scarlett Johansson co-stars.
