I DON’T FEEL AT HOME… is like a funnier BLUE RUIN. If you dug that, this is right up your alley. #Sundance

Meanwhile, the comedy The Little Hours, starring Alison Brie and Dave Franco, has also sparked good reactions for its sense of humor.

Just got out of #TheLittleHours at #Sundance2017 and… damn, was NOT expecting such a good flick. Not for everyone, but I loved it!

THE LITTLE HOURS is insanely vulgar and undeniably funny. Great work from @katemicucci, @alisonbrie and Aubrey Plaza. #sundance2017

‘An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power’ is powerful & eye opening, but also incredibly hopeful. Al Gore is a hero #Sundance

Kristen Stewart was present for the debut of her short film, Come Swim, which definitely excited her fan base.

Not everyone was excited, though.
