This A24 debut by a former GQ journalist stars Ayo Edebiri of “The Bear” as an ambitious writer who tries to survive the assignment from hell.

More than 40 years after director Gregory Nava developed the story at the Sundance Institute, “El Norte” screens at this year’s festival.

It’s the halfway point of the fest and themes are beginning to emerge — technological detachment, pets — along with stars Dev Patel, Steven Yeun and Rachel Sennott.

In our final Sundance Daily newsletter of 2025, we catch up with the team behind ‘Love, Brooklyn,’ recommend two new horror movies and more.
