SXSW isn't necesarilly a festival that is known to produce a game-changer title. I mean, it does happen every few years that a great movie will premiere, but, for the most part, the festival is content with its assorted titles of low-budget hipster indie movies. If anything, the top-tier press will show up to the fest for the world premieres of an eventual wide-released film and this year those titles were "Ready Player One," "A Quiet Place," and "Blockers." I watched much of the competition title entries and didn't find much to be excited, to tell you the truth. I still have a few more films to see but there hasn't been a film on the same leve as past game-changers like "Krisha," Short-Term 12," and "Hush."
