Fricken DELIGHTFUL start to Sundance. So much heart.
Amanda the JediJan 31, 2026Sundance online. Charming enough film with some really sweet and funny moments. Although a decent amount of the humor didn’t land for me. I love that Domhnall Gleeson is basically just his character from the Paper in this.

Kevflix And ChillJan 31, 2026THE INCOMER is a delightful mixture of Scottish folklore, deadpan comedy, and heartfelt charm. While many will watch it for Domhnall Gleeson, it’s Gayle Rankin who completely owns the film with a magnetic, off-beat performance. Debut director Louis Paxton brings his trio of…
Matt NegliaJan 31, 2026the perfect year for Sundance to accept a folk horror adjacent comedy where the admirably strange denizens of a Scottish island fight back against the officials trying to take them from their home — politically astute and, most importantly, very funny
