50th edition of Seattle International Film Festival is kicking off with the delightful Opening Night film THELMA. June Squibb does not need any help from Jason Statham and is determined to get her money back from scammers. She is marvelous and Josh Margolin’s directing is slick. It is also great to watch Richard Roundtree one more time in a prominent role.
With an extensive program of 148 features and 115 shorts, the festival has plenty of wonderful films to pick from. You can view the lineup and buy tickets at siff.net. After the in-person festival, a selection of films will be available to view online. You can find the films in the streaming lineup here.
