Slouching towards Park City, 1/16.

At the AV Club, Noel Murray and Scott Tobias list "10 Sundance Sensations That Changed Filmmaking" and "10 Sundance Films That Died In The Real World."

"Yesterday, I made a list of five films amongst Sundance's four competition slates that I'm particularly excited to see," writes Karina Longworth at the SpoutBlog. "Today, here's a look at another film films that I'm looking forward to, culled from the Spectrum, New Frontier, and Park City at Midnight sidebars."

"Last year's Sundance worked for Waitress, Once, No End in Sight, The Savages among others, but how does the buzz get started at Sundance? Or, more to the point, how do some films get on festgoers' short list of must-see titles even before the event begins?" Steven Rosen looks into for indieWIRE. Also, the Park City Diaries turn a fresh page.

"As always with Sundance, the documentary competition offers the most reliably involving films. This year things roughly break down into two categories, the personal and the societal." And Kenneth Turan offers a list of the most promising in each.

Also in the Los Angeles Times, Deborah Netburn lists "23 Facts About 23 (Official) Years of Sundance."
