| An Over-Simplification of Her Beauty |
In
recent years, it seems that no Sundance is complete without at least one
break-out film about break-ups. Whether it arrives via something intense and
dramatic like Blue Valentine or lighthearted
and wistful like (500) Days of Summer,
romantic angst has seemingly become the festival’s bread and butter. And while
this year’s festival didn’t appear to generate a true stand-out in the vein of
those earlier films (though you never know – 500 Days didn’t initially feel like it was going to be the hit it
later became), it wasn’t for lack of trying. Indeed, break-ups, in all their
varied forms, were ubiquitous onscreen at this year’s Sundance.
