2015 SUNDANCE JURY AND AUDIENCE AWARD WINNERS ANNOUNCED


The headlines read that Sundance 2015 was too heavy on 'dramedies' (what's new), and just about heavy enough on sex. With the festival now finished, all articles focus on the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award winner Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, a quaintly-titled adaptation that has received strong reviews from critics attending the fest in Park City.
