SUNDANCE 2012: Critic's Notebook 2
GreenCine Daily &bull Feb 4, 2012Exploding gators, swamp water mojo and a lowly, wise six-year-old heroine named Hushpuppy seemed to be almost all that anyone really wanted to talk about at the Sundance Film Festival this year.

But before these movies make it to screens of various sizes near you, I'd like to take you on a quick tour of all the titles I was able to catch this year. I've included my letter grade, a few words of what I thought,… Full Story »
