First Thursday Films: "Ricky" Film Screening


7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

2027 W Broadway Ave, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 55411

About This Event

The Capri Theater's premiere Northside movie series continues with another slate of films worthy of your attention and time! Programmed in partnership with the MSP Film Society and the Minnesota Historical Society, First Thursday Films at the Capri aims to create a space for dialogue and better understanding. Come for the movies. Stay for the conversation.

In the film Ricky, 30-year-old Ricky has been in prison half his life. Newly released, and having been locked up from age 15, he navigates post-incarceration back at home in East Hartford, Connecticut. Rashad Frett’s stunning and compassionate debut feature won the best directing award at the Sundance Film Festival and showcases a dynamic performance from Stephan James as Ricky.

Sentenced when he was just a teenager, Ricky has not experienced any of the rites of passage that most young men experience in freedom. He’s a handsome young man, trained as a barber, who knows nothing about modern technology, dating, and navigating the world in general. His religious mother exerts pressure on him, his parole officer pushes him, his own anger and self-regard punish him daily, and he just hopes he can find a place in this world.

Tickets are $5/free for Northsiders (zip codes 55411, 55412, 55430) and are available soon at mspfilm.org or at the door. Free parking is available.
