An exceptionally ambitious film that blends Hollywood crime thriller and true crime procedural with a sharp meditation on the instability of cinematic truth.

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”!

“Above the Line”
Its sharp Hollywood satire gives the film a fresh perspective, even if the story follows a fairly familiar path.
“Coin”
An ambitious, entertaining blend of comedy, friendship, and sharp social satire, even if it occasionally gets bogged down in financial jargon.
“Coroner to the Stars”
A compelling portrait of the pioneering forensic pathologist who changed Hollywood death investigations forever.
“Minions & Monsters”
Although a truly delightful first half gives way to formulaic animated mediocrity, the movie is uneven but still enjoyable.
“Supergirl”
Rich character work and a refreshing refusal to follow familiar superhero formulas make this one of DC’s more thoughtful entries.
