What the critics are saying: Reviewers have praised The Report, which is a political drama about the CIA's use of torture, based on a true story. They call it gripping and intelligent, and praise the performances of Driver and Bening, who head a cast that also includes Jennifer Morrison, Maura Tierney, Matthew Rhys and Michael C. Hall.

Wounds: Dakota Johnson & Armie Hammer Do Psychodrama Horror For The ‘Under The Shadow’ Director [Sundance Review] https://t.co/888huv86HF pic.twitter.com/9Jbl1F17o8

What the critics are saying: Not a lot of full reviews out there yet for Wounds, but the twitter reactions are middling to bad for this psychological horror drama starring Armie Hammer, Dakota Johnson, and Zazie Beetz. The expectations for the Under the Shadows director's next film were high, and this doesn't live up. Apparently there are lots of cockroaches, if that's your thing.

On The Sunlit Night and Extremely Wicked, two movies with charismatic lead performances but major structural problems. #Sundance2019 https://t.co/PvcNzBEM6V pic.twitter.com/TqhMXUPlyI

What the critics are saying: Reviews mention the beautiful scenery of Norway, where The Sunlit Night was shot, and call it "agressively cute". They praise Jenny Slate's lead performance, but lament the film's lack of structure. Seems to be a ymmv indie comedy.
Day Three Recap: THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO: A Rueful Ode to a Changing City; plus ALWAYS IN SEASON, EXTREMELY WICKED, SHOCKINGLY EVIL AND VILE, HALA https://t.co/pPo1oSpwLP #Sundance pic.twitter.com/wEqU9WwxkP

The cast and crew of The Last Black Man in San Francisco on the red carpet at the premiere.
THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO is a total stunner, and easily the best thing i’ve seen at #Sundance so far.
as an added bonus, it might singlehandedly put an end to people saying “that guy fucks!,” which would be great.

'The Last Black Man in San Francisco' Review: Stirring Debut Explores Male Friendship and Gentrification #Sundance2019 #TheWrapatSundance https://t.co/VhjEBNrEwD pic.twitter.com/gYLzeWfcyp

What the critics are saying: A24's The Last Black Man in San Francisco is getting a lot of raves out of Sundance. Joe Talbot's film about the gentrification of San Francisco is also a film about male friendship, based on the friendship between himself and the actor who plays the film's main character, Jimmie Fails. Reviews point out that the strength of the lead performances overcomes the film's somewhat unsatisfying conclusion.

I'll probably do a couple more of these posts over the next week... lmk if there's a movie you'd like me to highlight!
