The 10 best movies the Tribune’s movie critic saw at Sundance 2019: Girls coming of age, women dealing with grief, a moon launch, a refugee’s journey and more

The permutations of how many movies someone sees, which ones and when, along with the panels, parties, music experiences and people watching in Park City or Salt Lake City, are astronomical — making everyone’s festival different.

In my case, I will have seen 30 movies in Park City by the time the festival is over Sunday — plus 10 more I watched beforehand thanks to eager publicists. That’s still only a third of the 119 feature films on the festival slate, plus shorts, special events, the New Frontier programs and the short-form Indie Episodic shows.

So take this list, of the 10 best things I saw at Sundance 2019, with that in mind.
