If you can, you should head down to the Tacoma Film Festival this weekend, where you can see hits from the US and around the world like the undocumented immigrant drama The Infiltrators, Charles Mudede and Robin Devor’s Police Beat, and the very dark comedy The Death of Dick Long. But if you’re chilling in Seattle, don’t worry: You can attend the Social Justice Film Festival and the Seattle Latino Film Festival. Alternatively, catch the release of the morally ambiguous Joker, trip out at A Field in England, or escape the spooky stuff with Legally Blonde. See all of our film critics’ picks for this weekend below, and, if you’re looking for even more options, check out our film events calendar and complete movie times listings (which are now location-aware!).

Note: Movies play Thursday–Sunday unless otherwise noted
