Some random thoughts:
It's been a great festival so far. To be 20 films in and only have two movies I gave a 5 or less rating to is pretty awesome, if you ask me.
I haven't had a six movie day yet, and I won't have one today either. This is most irregular. Also unexpected is that despite my slower pace, I'm definitely feeling tired (though I haven't fallen asleep in a movie once).
Some strangeness - one day I saw two movies where a body was stored in a refrigerated truck. Another day I saw two movies where characters attempt to scatter ashes and end up scattering them on themselves. The next day, I saw two movies which feature Katie Couric in some way.
My favorites are Life Itself, Whiplash, Obvious Child and Whiplash. So much more to see though - another 30 films left to see before my Sundance experience ends.
I came to see if God Help the Girl made your list and became preoccupied with how much of this score distribution is about how you, personally, use a 10-point (or is it 0 to 10?) scale vs. tgis year's Sundance crop vs. the mix of documentaries to scripted (and maybe that's not the right antonym) and then I remembered I've had 3 hours of sleep in 2 days. How's the weather this year? Katie Couric is the new asteroid crashes into the earth.
