2026 Sundance Film Festival Review – Union County
['Robert Kojder']
Flickering Myth
Union County, 2026.
SYNOPSIS:Assigned to a county-mandated drug court program, Cody Parsons embarks on the tenuous journey toward recovery amidst the opioid epidemic in rural Ohio.
The hope is that bringing the brothers together will have a positive effect on both of their recovery journeys.
However, some of the film’s most compelling moments come from listening to these clearly real addicts (or at the very least, addicts’ versions of themselves) openly talk about their progress, good or bad.
It’s enough to make one also want a feature-length documentary on the same subject (the film itself is dedicated to this real program).
