"textContent": "_Run Amok_ is a drama from Sundance’s U.S. competition, a debut feature written and directed by NB Mager, that notably and earnestly oscillates between quirky moments of comedy and profound reflections on how to navigate grief.\n\n_Run Amok_ never settles into a genre; it’s part coming-of-age, part drama, part satire, part socio-political indictment of U.S. gun culture, and part backstage high school musical.\n\n**(This is one in a series of film reviews from the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, focused on films by women, trans or nonbinary directors that tell compelling stories about the lives of women and girls.)**\n\nThe post Sundance 2026: ‘Run Amok’ Uses a High School Musical to Confront the Afterlife of School Violence and the Messy Work of Grief appeared first on Ms. Magazine.",
