THIS WEEKEND is the first annual Chicago Critics Film Festival, a special opportunity for moviegoers to catch early views at unreleased favorites from festivals like Cannes, Sundance, and SXSW.

UPDATE: Thank you for entering a chance to win FREE PASSES. We have closed the comment section, and are now contacting the winners to confirm.

The festival begins Friday night (April 12) with a screening of Stories We Tell by Take This Waltz writer/director Sarah Polley. Continuing through Sunday night, the CCFF will feature screenings of numerous critic favorites, as presented in the MUVICO Rosemont 18 theater, located right by Chicago's O'Hare Airport. (Tickets for the festival can be purchased HERE.)

Of many great films to be shown at the festival, (a full schedule can be found HERE) I am pleased to say that I will be leading a post-screening Q&A with writer/director Adele Romanski for her movie Leave Me Like You Found Me. This film features two wonderful performances from Megan Boone and David Nordstrom, and down-to-earth cinematography of massive sequoias. An easy comparison for this film is to say it's like Blue Valentine in the woods, complete with the brutal honesty.

I saw this movie at SXSW in 2012 and loved it (my 8/10 review can be read HERE).

Leave Me Like You Found Me screens at 4:30 on Saturday, April 13.

For this single screening ONLY The Scorecard Review has 25 FREE PASSES to give away to our readers.
