The Seattle International Film Festival is short and sweet this year, so you only have one more week to check out this year’s excellent programming. We’ve outlined all of our picks for this week below, some of which we’ve already reviewed and loved (like the “Seattle noir” documentary Sweetheart Deal), and some of which we haven’t seen yet but have a good feeling about nonetheless (like I Love My Dad, starting Patton Oswalt). Other highlights include Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, the closing night film Call Jane with Elizabeth Banks, a 4/20 screening of the Japanese anime flick Inu-Oh—complete with a pre-show exquisite corpse drawing game—and more. You can also see all of our picks for the rest of the festival on our full SIFF guide, which is sortable by date and venue.

SIFF Says: In this striking docufiction meditation on motherhood, Slovakia’s Oscar® submission blends real-life interviews and thinly fictionalized narrative as a recently incarcerated woman navigates the ins and outs of a Ukrainian women’s correctional facility.
