‘Fat Kid Rules the World’

Back for one night only—thanks to SIFF’s Tugg program, wherein audience members vote online for films they want to see on the big screen—is Matthew Lillard’s adaptation of an award-winning young adult novel about a suicidal fat kid in Seattle drawn into a friendship (and a punk band) with a troubled dropout. It’s terrific and laced throughout with richly humane moments that nail down big, well-known concepts—the push-and-pull of family love, the thrill of live music, the shittiness of loving a junkie (even platonically)—with affecting precision.
