Prime (2026) Sundance 2026


This is a disturbing film with a sting in the tail about a woman who suffered a trauma and retreats to a remote farming collective run by a cult like leader.

I don't know how much I can say about this film because while the majority of the film is a disorienting and at times disturbing look at a broken woman trying to find a place of safety, the film kind of changes in it's final moments into something else. How I felt about the film is all tied up in the denouncement, which changed my thoughts on the film and made me take a step back from embracing it. It's not so much what happens, I've seen variations on that theme before, its that there is a shift in tone that deflated my feelings. Don't get me wrong the film up to that point is fine, it just stumbles at the end.

Worth a look.
