IFFBoston Preview 2: Thai prison, long-lost triplets, a drug-dealing Timothée Chalamet

It's hard to believe that it's already that time of year, but the Independent Film Festival Boston (henceforth referred to as IFFBoston), the city's largest gathering of the cinephiles, is upon us. This year's line-up is one of the best in recent memory, as it's positively chock-full of amazing and interesting titles, which will show from April 25 to May 2 at a variety of theaters across the city. Here's our second round of recommended titles, whose screenings take place over the weekend. We have the return of the "Godfather of Mumblecore," a doc about two Godfathers of underground punk, a coming of age tale, and some major festival hits. Be sure to check out the first post and to come back tomorrow, when we'll be covering the last three days of the festival.

Blindspotting

From our Sundance review: “Perhaps the most buzzed-about film of the early part of the festival, Blindspotting fucking annihilated when it played opening night, and was just as swell when I saw it a day later. This movie is pretty much what I hoped Bodied would be in style and tone, as it has a lot in common with Joseph Kahn’s festival circuit hit — it’s got a tremendous visual flair and a dark-as-fuck sense of humor — but improves a shitload on the central conceit and adds a fucking awesome sense of setting on top of everything.” Also, Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal will be on hand for a Q&A after the screening, so please save your Hamilton questions until the end.

‘BLINDSPOTTING’ :: Sunday, April 29 at The Somerville Theatre, 55 Davis Square in Somerville, MA :: 7:30 p.m., all ages, $12 to $20 :: Advance Tickets
