This week's reviews include this year's Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner, a charming rom-com and an unsettling horror film from Britain, and a video game origin story.
Enys Men is definitely on my agenda for tomorrow night. I've been anticipating that one ever since I saw its evocative trailer some months back. I'm also going to be seeing Quentin Dupieux's Smoking Causes Coughing, which should make for an interesting co-feature.
One additional, non-spoilery detail I particularly enjoyed from Enys Men: not only does it take place in 1973, but the dates in The Volunteer's log show that it takes place in late April/early May 1973, i.e. the exact timeframe of The Wicker Man.

Update: Dug both films. I especially enjoyed seeing John Woodvine (from An American Werewolf in London) pop up as The Pastor in Enys Men.
