You’re probably already in SIFF editing mode, flipping through our guide and cutting out every film-festival cliché in order to find the films that really interest you. Maybe you’ve already excised The Freebie, a romantic comedy about a young married couple who agree to allow each other one day of infidelity to renew their torpid sex life. If so, UNDELETE! Its premise sounds like every low-budget rom-com cliché ever, but The Freebie is a funny, squirmy, time-twisty look at sex and monogamy that deserves your attention. It is a pure joy of awkwardness. (Egyptian Theatre, 805 E Pine St, thestranger.com/siff. 4:30 pm, $7–$8.)

  2. Also…4:30 on a weekday? I mean I’m down with SIFF but the money I save by actually staying at my job for a full day will allow me to rent the thing if/when it becomes available in the future.

  3. I was into it till I realized it’s that goofy-looking actor from the show “Parenthood”. Plus, I’d probably end up silently yelling at the characters “get over yourselves, it’s just sex, not mass murder you’re angsting over”.
