A complex character study with uncomfortable comedy and a tone that feels like it’s fighting with itself.

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”!

“Sparks”
A slow-burning, artsy exploration of imagination, cinema, and the longing to escape small-town life.
“Ghost Elephants”
This hypnotic and haunting documentary turns a search for mythical beasts into a profound meditation on memory, loss, and the vanishing wild.
“Fantasy Life”
Tender and honest, this is a story about people just trying to feel okay, and the messy, heartfelt ways they connect along the way.
“Birita”
A documentary that’s also an act of love between a son trying to reconnect with his mother in the language they both understand best.
“Project Hail Mary”
The kind of smart, optimistic sci-fi that’s hard not to root for, and one that blends brains and hope in a way that’s irresistible.
