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”!

“Memories of a Forest”
Visually beautiful and admirably restrained, but despite the atmosphere and promise of a powerful family drama, it never digs deep enough to deliver a satisfying emotional payoff.
“The Deputy”
A watchable but formulaic crime story that squanders its potential for tense, nasty, small-town noir.
“Bad Apples”
A sharp, twisted, dark, daring, and wickedly funny satire about the murky spaces where morality bends to convenience.
“The Only Living Pickpocket in New York”
A gritty, funny, surprisingly tender little crime movie that’s anchored by a fantastic performance from John Turturro.
“Love of Your Life”
A beautiful, melancholy film about grief, lost possibilities, and the fear that moving on means letting go of the life you once imagined.
