\n\tIt\u2019s the last dance for Sundance<\/a> in Park City as the indie-focused festival prepares to relocate to Boulder, Colorado<\/a>, next year. It\u2019s also the first fest to go on without its legendary Oscar-winning founder Robert Redford, who died in September<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe event\u2019s 42nd edition kicked off January 22 and runs through Sunday, February 1, with a lineup that features 105 projects<\/a> \u2014 including 90 features and seven TV episodes \u2014 screening in Park City, nearby Salt Lake City and online. <\/p>\n

Cast: Chris Pine, Jenny Slate, Abby Ryder Fortson, Sam Waterston, Katey Sagal, Jessica Harper, Jeffrey DeMunn, Helene York
Deadline\u2019s takeaway: It\u2019s a story about love lost, love found again and the cost of both with the baggage from the past, the tentativeness of the present and the questions of a future. \u00a0Chris Pine is a fine actor not often given the chance to play this kind of reflective adult role, and it is perfect for him.<\/p>\n

Deadline\u2019s takeaway: Against the odds, and largely thanks to the core trio,\u00a0The Incomer\u00a0pulls together, finally addressing the story\u2019s dark well of sadness and ending on an upbeat yet surprisingly mature and even emotional note that absolves the film for most \u2014 if not all \u2014 of its frequent forays into silliness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s the last dance for Sundance in Park City as the indie-focused festival prepares to relocate to Boulder,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":252953,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[146,85,46,134586,397,19830,48764,134587,134588,47780,134589],"class_list":{"0":"post-252952","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-il","10":"tag-israel","11":"tag-josephine","12":"tag-movies","13":"tag-sundance","14":"tag-sundance-film-festival","15":"tag-the-gallerist","16":"tag-the-invite","17":"tag-the-moment","18":"tag-the-weight"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252952"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252952\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
