Part of Moviebreak's Sundance 2026 coverage are the several podcast episodes in which our critics Lida and Patrick report from the on-site ongoings in Park City, where the festival gathers veterans and new talent of US independent cinema.
In episode 4, the conversation shifts once more to four Sundance 2026 titles that confront pressure, power, and personal resilience from very different angles: The Invite, a tense, slow-burning study of social dynamics and unspoken threat; The Brittney Griner Story, a powerful documentary portrait of an athlete caught at the intersection of sport, politics, and identity; Burn, a raw and urgent depiction of lives pushed to the brink; and The Weight, an introspective drama exploring emotional burden, responsibility, and the quiet costs of endurance.
