The air is crisp, Main Street is buzzing, and around every corner, local and industry publications read: \u201cRaise a Glass to Park City,\u201d \u201cLine up For Park City\u2019s Last Dance,\u201d and \u201cSundance Memories.\u201d <\/p>\n

As Sundance Institute says farewell to Utah during the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, one thing remains the same: our undying love for cinema. And while it\u2019s clear as the skies here in Park City that many hearts are heavy, there\u2019s also a sense of optimism for what the future could look like when the beloved fest moves to Boulder, Colorado. No question, change is in the air but we still (and always will) have you covered with our annual Rotten Tomatoes Sundance Scorecard. So let\u2019s get into it.<\/p>\n

John Wilson\u2019s film The History of Concrete<\/a> holds a solid 100% on the Tomatometer, and critics are praising<\/a> the documentary as \u201codd and poignant, laugh-out-loud funny, and compelling.\u201d Meanwhile, A24\u2019s The Moment<\/a>, starring Charli xcx, has a been toggling back and forth between Rotten and Fresh since its premiere, and some in the media are crowning the popular British singer\/songwriter the \u201cQueen of indie film\u201d this year.<\/p>\n

Explore the short but sweet list below, and keep checking back as we add more titles to the list throughout the festival, which runs until February 1. \u2014\u00a0Stephanie Ornelas<\/a><\/p>\n
