So, another Seattle International Film Festival is in the
books. As usual, I watched a crap-load of movies over the past six weeks—SIFF
is nothing if not a marathon. My total topped 60 this year, which isn’t even
half of the features. (On the final night, I encountered someone on their 123rd
movie.) Overall, it was the strongest field in a few years; I routinely found
myself pleasantly surprised by movies I didn’t expect. With that in mind, here
are my favorites of SIFF 2018, in no particular order.
