An imperfect yet admirable portrait of a fiercely independent, headstrong woman who changed the world of photojournalism during World War II. How exciting to finally have her story told on film.

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”!

“Nyad”
An inspiring true story that features one of the most authentic big screen portrayals of a complex female friendship.
“The Holdovers”
Painfully honest and sentimental, the film strikes a delicate balance of melancholy and humor. It’s like a hug for those who could really, really use one.
“Deliver Us”
This theological horror thriller has a solid backbone story-wise, but stiff performances and a lazy ending drags it down.
“Flora and Son”
Another sweet and charming win from writer / director John Carney, the master of making crowd-pleasing films for music lovers.
“The Wait (La Espera)”
A moody, masculine folk horror revenge thriller that deals with grief, guilt, class, and the darkness of human nature.
