On Friday we headed over to Pacific Place for My Blind Brother, the full-length adaptation of a short from 2003. Writer-director Sophie Goodhart was on hand to introduce the film and to participate in a Q&A after the film. A charming and somewhat off-beat romantic comedy, it stars Jenny Slate, Nick Kroll, and Adam Scott as the titular brother. It’s a funny tale of sibling rivalry. I’ve had a crush on Mr. Scott for some years now, but by the end of the film I was actually a bit smitten with Mr. Kroll – a very funny guy, but not someone who is usually a love interest.

It has no more screenings at this festival, but I would think at the very least it will be on one of the streaming services before too long. Did not pass the Bechdel Test.

The evening did contain some tragedy, as my barely-sipped-upon cup of coffee took a header onto the floor while I waited in line. Nothing could be done to save it, and it was soaked up by a travel pack of tissues and a couple handfuls of paper towels. It was the second coffee-related misfortune in recent days. The first happened in Portland when I ordered a Mexican Mocha in a drive-thru and was served a latte. At least then I still had a nice cup of coffee.
