A small scale, nostalgic tale of childhood time travel and fantasy that’s layered with themes of pain, grief, regret, and loss.

FANATICAL ABOUT FILM!
Movies are our religion and the theater our church. Our gods are named Tarantino, Anderson and Scorsese.
We attend services 3-4 times a week and take our communion in the form of soda and popcorn. We offer up these reviews in hopes of pleasing our deities.
Please share your own comments on our reviews. We encourage all forms of respectful debate. We are, after all, “Fanatical About Film”!

“Mothering Sunday”
This screen adaptation of Graham Swift’s novella about a secret love affair in post WWI England is a misfire on all counts.
“Dug Dug”
Smart, sarcastic, and over-the-top eccentric in a Wes Anderson-meets-Quentin Dupieux sort of way.
“The Hill Where Lionesses Roar”
Captures the feeling of being trapped in a life you never asked for, and wanting so desperately to get yourself out of it.
“All My Puny Sorrows”
An emotionally exhausting film that’s delicately directed, touching, refined, and subtle in its storytelling.
“As in Heaven”
This thought-provoking work and its themes of using superstition and religion as a means of control will resonate on a primal level with many women.
