Originally Published 2 years ago — by Los Angeles Times
At the 40th annual Sundance Film Festival, Steven Soderbergh's "Presence" presents a unique ghost story told entirely from the perspective of the haunter, showcasing his signature experimental edge. The festival also featured "Freaky Tales," a return to indie basics from Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, and "Girls State," a documentary offering a microcosmic look at a high-school program for young American women. Additionally, the Mexican film "Sujo" stands out as a tender, harrowing coming-of-age drama.
