There’s a positive message and admirable ambition at the heart of the film, and it’s hard to criticize that.

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.
We are a married couple and we are both passionate about movies, and we hope you’ll find it interesting to read our “he said, she said” viewpoints. Oftentimes we agree but, as evidenced by many a late night discussion shared among film fans, it’s more fun when we don’t.
Please share your own comments on our reviews. We encourage all forms of respectful debate. We are, after all, “Fanatical About Film”!

“Can You Ever Forgive Me?”
Everything about this film hits the right notes, and it is one of the very best I have seen this year.
“The Girl in the Spider’s Web”
This edgy tale of female empowerment may be just what we need right now in this age of the “Me Too” movement. I wouldn’t call this movie fun, but it certainly seduced me.
“Widows”
After all the pointless plot twists, gross overacting, and irritating visuals, all that’s left is a jumbled, disappointing mess of bloody brutality.
“Bohemian Rhapsody”
This one is an all-around crowd pleaser made for fans that, much like Mercury himself, succeeds despite its flaws.
“Overlord”
Midnight B-movie fans should enjoy this blood-soaked, zombie-filled version of “Saving Private Ryan,” as long as they don’t go in expecting too much.
