Farace here. Seattle, get ready — Ella McCay is heading your way, and honestly, this might be the first movie in years that truly understands your city’s mood: juggling work, juggling family, and trying not to emotionally combust before the sun sets at 3:47 p.m. Emma Mackey stars as Ella, an idealist trying to survive the lovable disasters in her life — which is perfect for a town where half the population is doing silent coworking in coffee shops and the other half is processing their feelings on a hike. With a stacked cast — Jamie Lee Curtis, Ayo Edebiri, Kumail Nanjiani, Woody Harrelson (of course he fits in Seattle), plus original music by Hans Zimmer — James L. Brooks is delivering comedy with heart, not another think piece about artisanal mushrooms. Advance screening hits 12/10 at 7pm, while supplies last. Grab your pass before someone “accidentally” swaps it out for a thrifted flannel and a kombucha starter kit.
