With the opening weekend of Sundance 2013 concluded, festival-goers in Park City have been sounding a sad refrain: Where are all the great movies, the breakout hits, this year's "Precious" or "Beasts of the Southern Wild?"
The great movies may not have arrived yet, but the weird ones have.
Plenty of Sundance films have premiered to enthusiastic audiences and good notices, from the Jerusha Hess comedy "Austenland" to James Ponsoldt's "The Spectacular Now" to Liz Garcia's "The Lifeguard."
But there haven't been any major sales yet (terms for A24's acquisition of "The Spectacular Now" haven't been revealed), and the enthusiasm has been tempered by the fact that the year has yet to see a true Sundance Sensation.
