Palm Springs

In an alternate timeline where the coronavirus didn’t put much of the world on pause, “Palm Springs,” which holds the record for the biggest sale of a film at the Sundance Film Festival at $17,500,000.69, would have been a big theatrical hit. Instead, the film, produced by the comedy team Lonely Island, made its debut on Hulu and at drive-in movie theaters.

Oddly enough, “Palm Springs,” a romantic comedy in the vein of “Groundhog Day,” is the perfect film for this moment, as we all sort of feel trapped in the same neverending day, in which time has lost all meaning.
