By focusing the story on the experience of an undocumented female teenager in America, the film lends a new angle to a familiar topic.

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”!

“One Night With Adela”
A disturbing, violent, and furious tale of revenge-fueled rampage that will stay with you for a long, long time.
“Gran Turismo”
Fans of movies about the little guy who comes out on top will want to pop the champagne for this perfectly formulated underdog narrative.
“Strays”
Takes a promising idea for an adult-centered comedy and blows it by shooting for the lowest bar possible.
“The Line”
A tired, clichéd coming-of-age movie about college boys behaving very badly, this exercise in toxic masculinity tries too hard to find thought-provoking things to say about the importance about tradition, social status, and moral ambiguity.
“Jules”
There is nothing creative about the story, which hits all the calculable clichés one would expect from a lightweight film geared towards retirees.
