The film is ironic, satirical, and just plain weird, but it’s a riveting, unblinking rebuke of society’s willingness to commercialize a traumatized girl.

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.
We are a married couple and we are both passionate about movies, and we hope you’ll find it interesting to read our “he said, she said” viewpoints. Oftentimes we agree but, as evidenced by many a late night discussion shared among film fans, it’s more fun when we don’t.
Please share your own comments on our reviews. We encourage all forms of respectful debate. We are, after all, “Fanatical About Film”!

“The Favourite”
This surefire Oscar contender is a bawdy, twisted, and unsettling film that is guaranteed to be discussed in creative circles for years to come.
“A Star is Born”
The soundtrack is admittedly fantastic, but there isn’t much else to recommend about this unnecessary remake. It has very little original to say, and it places flash over substance.
“Anna and the Apocalypse”
This is a film geek achievement in offbeat originality that delivers a fresh and fun twist on the zombie genre.
“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”
This is a too long, too weak, too confusing jumble of characters and ideas that most outside of the hardcore Harry Potter fan base will struggle to find any enjoyment.
“Billionaire Boys Club”
This is t.v. movie-of-the-week material that should’ve (barely) had a home on basic cable.
