Despite imperfections in storytelling and execution, this macabre coming-of-age story is a lesson in life, love, and the need for human connection.

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”!

“My Policeman”
Riddled with ill-fitting clichés and a predictable conclusion, the film is a stiff, passionless affair.
“Sidney”
While unremarkable as a cinematic achievement, this intimate documentary honors the Hollywood legend, filmmaker, and Civil Rights activist, Sidney Poitier.
“The Fabelmans”
Made for and by people who love films on the purest level. If you make movies, write about movies, or simply love movies, this one’s for you.
“A Christmas Story Christmas”
Goes to show that when it comes to good reasons to make a sequel to a beloved classic movie, “nostalgia” should never top the list.
“The Menu”
A wickedly savage, genre-bending, darkly comedic thriller that serves up arthouse fun for foodies.
