As soon as the clock strikes twelve on New Year’s Eve, we’ll have to start putting our focus on Park City, where the next buzzed about movies will start to emerge at the Sundance Film Festival. As always, there’s a sea of movies to wade through, and one on our radar is “The Little Hours.”
Written and directed by Jeff Baena (“Life After Beth,” “Joshy“) and featuring a pretty great ensemble including Alison Brie, Dave Franco, Kate Micucci, Aubrey Plaza, John C. Reilly, and Molly Shannon, the movie boasts an intriguingly off kilter premise. Here’s the official synopsis:
A young servant fleeing from his master takes refuge at a dysfunctional convent in medieval Tuscany.
The Sundance Film Festival runs from January 19-29, 2017.
