The 2025 Sundance Film Festival hosted the world premiere of Kiss of the Spider Woman at the Eccles Center Theatre on Sunday night, Jan. 26, 2025. The event drew a full house, culminating in a standing ovation for the film.

Jennifer Lopez, in attendance, stars in the film’s titular role, arrived at the premiere in a sheer black lace gown embellished with glittering spiderweb detailing.

Designed by Valdrin Sahiti and styled by her longtime collaborators Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, the look stood out in a festival known more for its winter layers than red carpet glamour. She was joined by director Bill Condon and co-stars Diego Luna and Tonatiuh Elizarraraz.

Directed by Condon, the musical adaptation is based on Manuel Puig’s 1976 novel, which had previously been turned into both a 1985 film and a Tony-winning 1993 Broadway musical. This new version reimagines the material as an indie musical, with Lopez playing Aurora, a captivating film actress who appears as a fantastical figure within the mind of one of the characters. Luna portrays Valentín, a political prisoner, while Elizarraraz plays Molina, whose love for movies provides the story’s dreamlike framework.

The film’s synopsis reads: “Lopez is an astonishing scene-stealer in a career-highlight performance as Luna/Aurora, with showstopping musical numbers that underscore the exuberant prowess of her dancing and voice. Diego Luna delivers unrelenting revolutionary conviction as Valentín, and Tonatiuh gives his Molina a tenderhearted power and theatrical flair.”

The premiere marks a notable one for Lopez, with early audience response citing her performance as a highlight of the film. Sundance continues through Feb. 2.

Fairy Tale Gets Grotesque: “The Ugly Stepsister” Premieres at Sundance 2025

Posted on by

By Armando

Director Emilie Blichfeldt

The 2025 Sundance Film Festival kicked off with the premiere of The Ugly Stepsister, a darkly comedic horror film that puts a twisted spin on the classic Cinderella tale.

The film screened Thursday evening, Jan 23, 2025, Day One of the festival, to a packed audience at the Prospector Square Theatre.

Making her feature directorial debut, Emilie Blichfeldt co-wrote and directed the film, which reimagines the fairy-tale kingdom as a world where beauty is both currency and curse. Lea Myren stars as Elvira, the less-favored stepsister who will go to extreme—and often grotesque—lengths to catch the prince’s eye.

The red carpet reflected the film’s provocative tone, with the cast including Thea Sofie Loch Næss, Ane Dahl Torp, and Malte Gårdinger stepping out for photos and interviews, and Blichfeldt’s tailored fashion choice made for a fittingly offbeat and stylish start to the festival’s opening night. The film’s cast which includes Lea Myren, Flo Fagerli, Isac Calmroth, and Malte Gårdinger, were also in attendance.

Described ahead of its premiere as “tongue-in-cheek body horror,” The Ugly Stepsister has been one of the festival’s early buzz titles. Already grabbing attention for its scenes of DIY cosmetic procedures and one particularly shocking tapeworm moment, said to lean into twisted aesthetics.

It’s one of several genre-bending titles making waves at this year’s Sundance—proof that horror, when done with bite and style, continues to be a crowd magnet.

The film’s synopsis says: “In a fairy-tale kingdom where beauty is a brutal business, Elvira battles to compete with her incredibly beautiful stepsister, and she will go to any length to catch the prince’s eye.”
