I love how you articulated why you don't write negative reviews. I feel exactly the same way and am attempting something similar with my work. It's refreshing to see someone who wants to amplify the work they love, rather than armchair quarterback what didn't resonate.
I attended the festival as well. I'm excited to read about what you enjoyed!
A brief roundup of some of my favorites linked below. Loved your thoughts and all your coverage! Particularly looking forward to watching Between the Temples and I Saw the TV Glow - bummed I didn't get a chance at the festival.
FFB (as Eugene dubbed me) here will watch the Awards Package again online, and continue missing the highlight of my years there in-person. Looking forward to your positive posts.
Your first year was mine as well, the newly named position of Crown Liaison was SFF '98 and at the Egyptian we had BUFFALO 66, PI, SMOKE SIGNALS, HIGH ART, & others, with the crazy crowds trying to get in to those screenings pre-Eccles !! (At THE Condo party after the Awards, I saw Aronofsky & Levin happily pointing to each other when Darren saw Marc on a couch:
Darren: "SLAM!!"
Marc" "PI !!!", then repeated 3 more times.)
And late one night Christina Ricci & a guy ran up and caught the P.C. bus I was on with hardly anyone else, and I marveled she got snow-traction in her high-soled shoes. A week later, EW ran a photo piece asking readers to guess which celeb at the fest had which shoes. I of course got Ricci's right immediately.

Thank you so much, Jordan... I hope to see your thoughts as well. My "in-person" festival thoughts coming soon.
