The biggest film opening this weekend is of course Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood, his best movie in years. There will also be many great documentaries playing, like the haunting Streetwise—perhaps one of the greatest Seattle films—and the David Hockney-starring A Bigger Splash. Alternatively, spend all your time in virtual reality and digital realms at the Seattle Transmedia & Independent Film Festival. Follow the links below to see complete showtimes, tickets, and trailers for all of our critics’ picks. If you’re looking for even more options, check out our film events calendar and complete movie times listings (which are now location-aware!), and don’t forget to see where outdoor movies are playing.
Note: Movies play Thursday–Sunday unless otherwise noted
Apollo 11
Todd Miller’s superbly edited new documentary on the Apollo 11 mission, which put Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong on the moon (and sent Michael Collins around its dark side), adds no narration or talking heads, other than contemporaneous sources. Although you know how things turned out, you’re plunged into the suspense of the moment, when even the slightest miscalculation could have doomed the astronauts to a lonely or fiery death. Listen to that amazing sound design! JOULE ZELMAN
