"Three Days of the Condor" is one of the most suspenseful crime thrillers that came out of '70s cinema. The New Hollywood movement was in full effect with audiences turning to gritty, low-budget films for thrills outside of the failing studio system. Sydney Pollack was one of the foremost leaders of the cinematic era, and "Three Days of the Condor" was one of the final entries into its canon. The filmmaker's 1970 film "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" earned him his first Academy Award nomination, so "Three Days" was a highly anticipated follow-up.

We were in the mindset that thought that a 2021 playdate was in the cards for Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert‘s Everything Everywhere All at Once, but the project probably needed a bit more time in post before the A24 folks brought the ambitious project into the world. Buyers at the recent virtual AFM got a first glance at the project and the distrib are looking to drop the film sometime in the Spring so this would definitely benefit from a Sundance or SXSW premiere showing. The Daniels have been to Park City with 2016’s Swiss Army Man, 2019’s The Death of Dick Long (solo directing gig for Scheinert) and were part of the Omniboat: A Fast Boat Fantasia experiment.…...

We’ll likely be thanking the tandem known as the Daniels for passing on Deadpool 2 as instead the put their super powers to work on this original screenplay that experienced a bad timing hiccup losing Awkwafina (due to other commitments). Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert are Sundance regulars with 2016 Swiss Army Man (read review), 2019’s The Death of Dick Long (solo outing for Scheinert – see our video interviews) and Omniboat: A Fast Boat Fantasia last year, Everything Everywhere All at Once enlisted Michelle Yeoh, James Hong, Jonathan Ke Quan, Jamie Lee Curtis and Stephanie Hsu who replaced Awkwafina.…...

Miami is described as “the only city where you can tell a lie at breakfast and it’ll be true by nightfall” during a weird but compelling speech by an ambitious real estate developer in “Omniboat: A Fast Boat Fantasia.” The developer, Jim Cummings (played by Mel Rodriguez from “The Last Man of Earth”) explains his dream of building a new shore-front, phallic-shaped luxury condo tower with his name on it.

A profound and poetic passage and a playful Fitzcarraldo allusion aside, Omniboat: A Fast Boat Fantasia is a shockingly bad picture. Omnibus flicks are only as good as their best passages and as bad as their worst. While the film, made collectively by several talented filmmakers working under the banner of the Borscht Corporation, doesn’t reach a Movie 43-level of obnoxiousness, it comes close in a few sections. Its inclusion in Sundance’s Next category represents a troubling lack of judgment. The category was originally meant for lower-budget indies and emerging talent. Unfortunately, someone’s potentially stunning little indie didn’t make the cut and rather this over-bloated picture featuring several Sundance alumni was accepted instead. At my screening, the film inspired a few more walkouts than Flying Lotus’ nearly pornographic Kuso did last year. Kuso, however, worked while Omniboat was met with much silence when shown to a sober audience at 12:30 pm.

Omniboat: A Fast Boat Fantasia is the wildest movie of Sundance 2020, and maybe the most outlandish film at the festival since Daniel Radcliffe played a farting corpse in 2016’s Swiss Army Man. Unsurprisingly, Daniels (the directing duo responsible for that endearingly odd gem) are also partially responsible for Omniboat, an anthology-style love letter to […]
