20 Best Indie Movies Of 2016

20. Don’t Think Twice

Directed by and starring the multi-talented Mike Birbiglia, Don’t Think Twice was one of 2016’s most critically acclaimed comedy-dramas.

Centring on the ups and downs of working New York City’s comedy circuit, the movie focuses on a comedy improv troupe and how its members are affected when one of them finds fame and success by nabbing a spot on the fictional TV programme Weekend Live – a thinly veiled stand-in for the most hallowed of all comedy sketch shows, Saturday Night Live.

Co-starring a host of comedic talents including Keegan-Michael Key and Kate Micucci, it’s been hailed as an honest and bittersweet exploration of the life of working comedians and one that will resonate with anyone who’s had to grapple with the dilemma of following your dream or facing reality and giving up.
