This director is an inspiration! 🤩👇 We've only just discovered her through her incredibly powerful #Sundance film #Josephine which will definitely be in the awards conversation later this year...

Beth de Araújo, the writer-director of one of the festival favorites everyone is talking about: JOSEPHINE.

[Thembisa Cochrane @thembisa]

Well that was a glorious first #Sundance ! 🤩 Love that the festival is so full of filmmakers who are genuinely activist and trying to use their art to make the world a better place 💛💫 #indiefilm #worldpremiere #art #activism #cinema

Found FRANK & LOUIS quite affecting. Wholly empathetic and deeply human, its prison drama conventions still deliver an emotional gut punch thanks to an incredible lead performance from Kingsley Ben-Adir and its tender look at dementia, regret, and self discovery. This one got me.

"In her new film, [Petra Volpe] zooms in on another often-overlooked care issue: the care needs of the aging incarcerated..."

Stars at #Sundance Express Grief, Outrage at Minnesota Violence: “Yesterday, I was crying all afternoon,” director Petra Volpe told @TheWrap after screening her film, “Frank & Louis." “You cannot normalize this and pretend it doesn’t happen."

[cupofsoulshow @cupofsoulshow]

At #Sundance, FRANK AND LOUISE delivers a quiet gut punch.
Serving life, Frank takes a prison job caring for inmates with Alzheimer’s and dementia—hoping it’ll help his parole. Instead, an unexpected bond with fellow inmate Louis reshapes his soul. Outstanding performances by Rob Morgan and Kingsley Ben-Adir

A moving story of memory, mercy, and redemption found in the most unforgiving place.

[Punch Drunk Critics @pdcmovies]

Kingsley Ben-Adir and Rob Morgan star in the somber, powerful drama FRANK & LOUIS, which centers on a community most of us have never given a thought to, prison inmates suffering from dementia. #Sundance2026
