Telluride beyond the films
Open now bars & bites · live by the clock
Live open/closed is by the clock on your phone; hours are a seasonal best-guess, so call ahead for a group. The New Sheridan — go for the bar, skip the dinner.

Voices · the critical read

On the circuit
Premiering at Telluride — first word this weekend
Excerpts are short pull-quotes shown for identification and comment; each links to the critic's full review at the source. Consensus lines are our own summaries, not quotations. No score is invented — where a title has no verified notices yet, it's listed as premiering.

How it works
Swipe every film — 👎 pass / 🤔 neutral / 👍 interested / ⭐ must-see — and it builds your optimal plan from what you want (neutral = a maybe, kept aside). Everyone's picks feed the shared view. The full 2026 program is live — real films and showtimes. Rate the lineup and your conflict-free plan builds itself.

Beta · no guarantees. The plan is a smart suggestion, not a ticket. It's built from published capacities and our best read of walk + gondola times — but the Q, sellouts, TBAs and last-minute swaps are real, and Telluride will do what Telluride does. Treat it as a strong starting point, trust the volunteers and the printed programme on the ground, and roll with it. We take no responsibility for a missed film or a bad seat — just for helping you pick well.

Notes to the group lines, tips, must-sees & recommendations
What we can't do: the festival's live seat counts and Q times aren't public, so no app (ours included) can show official numbers. What we do instead: everyone shares real lines, tips and must-sees here — and anyone with alerts on gets pinged the moment a note, TBA or added show goes up.
