#SUNDANCE: “PALM SPRINGS”

Review by Amanda Gilmore for Mr. Will Wong

When Sarah (Cristin Milioti) meets Nyles (Andy Samberg) at her younger sisters wedding the two are thrust into a surreal and unexpected interruption.

Palm Springs really is one of the best films at the Festival. The main idea, which I’m attempting to keep a secret from you, is something that has been done time and time again. However, Palm Springs takes this old trend and whips up something fresh and hilarious with it. The two leads have outstanding chemistry and there is never a dull moment from beginning to end. All involved, behind and in front of the camera, make this Film one true crowd-pleaser.

Palm Springs screens at Sundance on Sun, Jan. 26th at 3 PM at Library Centre Theatre, Mon, Jan. 27th at 11:30 PM at Prospector Square Theatre, Wed, Jan. 29th at 6:30 PM at Rose Wagner Centre, Thurs, January 20th at 6:30 PM at Eccles Theatre, and Sat, Feb. 1st at 12 PM at Redstone Cinema 7.
