While it’s a fascinating story for a documentary, this complicated, twisty, turny, and frustrating film leaves the viewer with very few answers.

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”!

“All You Hear is Noise”
This documentary about three intellectually disabled athletes training for the Special Olympics loses focus with personal stories that just aren’t engaging enough.
“Asteroid City”
It may be a visual delight, but this sluggish, smug, exasperating film is Wes Anderson’s worst project to date.
“The Blackening”
Packed with timely social commentary about stereotypes and “blackness,” this sophisticated horror satire is uncomfortable, whip-smart, and a whole lot of fun.
“The Other Laurens (L’autre Laurens)”
There’s something very Lynchian in this artsy, deadpan, genre-blending film that makes it a worthy homage that also feels wildly original.
“No Hard Feelings”
Everyone is trying so hard to turn the movie into a wacky, racy comedy that they miss the actual heart of the story.
