The Seattle Art Museum is featuring the films of Keanu Reeves this fall. On select Friday nights, SAM will screen eight of his movies in a festival they're calling "Excellent Adventures: Celebrating Keanu Reeves," at the Seattle Asian Art Museum in Volunteer Park. 

Like the greatest works of art, Keanu Reeves can be polarizing. Is he good? At acting? KUOW's Dyer Oxley spoke with local film critics Timothy Hall, The People's Critic, and Li Lai with Common Sense Media and Mediaversity. They ponder Keanu's approach to his craft and spotlight some of his lesser-known gems.

SAM Films presents “Excellent Adventures: Celebrating Keanu Reeves.” Please note, the series takes place at the Seattle Asian Art Museum.
