Kate Beecroft’s docu-fiction portrait of the “New West” resists tidy categorisation from its first minutes: we have country twang quickly matched with hip-hop beat. The film – like the Zimiga family at its centre – refuses to sit in a single box, and that’s the point.

Directed by Cole Webley and written by Robert Machoian, Omaha is one of the quiet standouts of this year’s Sundance Film Festival. It may be slight in its scope (and runtime), but that doesn't stop it from being emotionally devastating.

Atropia, the ambitious feature debut from Hailey Gates, has left the 2025 Sundance Film Festival with the Grand Jury Prize for U.S. Dramatic Feature. Still, the broader feelings about the project remain divided.
