Sundance, the last film festival to play in-full and in-person before the 2020 pandemic shutdown last year, returns for an all-virtual edition in 2021. Some of the biggest, buzziest Sundance 2021 movies include the directorial debuts of Rebecca Hall (Passing) and Robin Wright (Land), a bonkers Sion Sono/Nicolas Cage team-up (Prisoners of the Ghostland), Rita Moreno doc Just a Girl Who Decided to Go For It, and Judas and the Black Messiah, which is already generating Oscar-nom talk for Daniel Kaluuya.

With the Sundance 2021 Movie Scorecard, we’re keeping you updated on the latest movies to get Tomatometer scores as they premiere and critics submit their reviews. Be sure to check back frequently throughout the festival run!
