“Can’t Let It Go,” and indie comedy executive produced by Academy Award winner James Ivory, will begin a weeklong run Friday, March 13 at Circle Cinema.
Director Roy Szuper will attend a 7 p.m. opening night screening and will take part in a Q&A session after the film.
“Can’t Let It Go” doubles as a political satire, using humor to explore the relationships and identity fault lines exposed by the 2016 election.
Starring Mario Cantone, the film follows five New York couples as they grapple with the emotional fallout of the election. As political disagreements escalate, private relationships are tested with humor. Sharply different and often unexpected perspectives turn personal with comic results.
“Can’t Let It Go” is sustaining a theatrical life even after a streaming-first release.
Most films follow the opposite path, ending theatrical play before arriving on streaming.
Asked why the film is still playing in theaters a year after the streaming-first release, Super said: “Because streaming can’t replicate what happens in a room together. People laugh together, then they stay and talk; they crave the shared experience. The Q&A becomes part of the shared experience.”
