Here Are Our Editors' Picks From the 2023 Sundance Film Festival

"'Young. Wild. Free.' puts a twist on the classic coming-of-age trope with a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde story. Scraping by trying to find a way to care for his younger siblings and mother (played by Sanaa Lathan), struggling teen Brandon (Algee Smith) gets his world turned upside down when he meets the alluring Cassidy (Sierra Capri) and discovers the carefree lifestyle he's always dreamed of. But when his newfound dangerous ways lead him to a crime of passion, Brandon fights to get his life back on track. The dramatic, Los Angeles-set film makes a subtle case for mental health while highlighting the everyday struggles of Black youth." — Njera Perkins, associate editor, celebrity and entertainment
