January 21, 1990: ‘Denial’ World Premiere at Sundance Film Festival

‘Denial’, the third movie starring Robin Wright premieres at the Sundance Film Festival and gets some good reviews.

One of them says that “director Erin Dignam weaves a graceful drama which has presence. Brooding, delicate and fifed with uncertainty, this is a difficult work that demands our concentration. Robin Wright contributes a remarkable, penetrating performance that epitomizes the director’s concerns, capturing Loon at two completely different periods of her life with astounding depth and complexity. Reynaldo Villalobos’s cinematography is careful, with an effective use of natural and white light.”
