Sundance 2015: The Complete Festival Lineup With Grade Averages

Sundance 2015: The Complete Festival Lineup With Grade Averages
Sundance 2015: The Complete Festival Lineup With Grade Averages

For the next two weeks, the attention of the indie film world will be fixed on Park City, Utah for the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. Features in ten different categories will be playing for audiences throughout the ten-day festivities.

As we’ve done for past festivals (most recently TIFF 2014), we’ve collected all the feature films playing as part of the lineup. You can follow along with all the developments of the fest, so be sure to check back as the members of the Criticwire Network add their grades and reviews for all Sundance films. We’ll also be updating the corresponding Criticwire grade averages for each film as the screenings progress.
