Thoughtful, tense, politically sharp, and consistently engaging, how refreshing to see a film that not only respects its audience, but delivers tenfold.

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”!

“If I Go Will They Miss Me”
What a beautifully realized film about the fragile, complicated bonds between parents and their children.
“H Is for Hawk”
Leans too heavily into the familiar, but the film is a thoughtful, quietly profound meditation on grief and the fragile process of learning how to live again.
“Union County”
Doesn’t quite rise above being a quietly competent indie drama, but it will certainly resonate with viewers who personally know someone who’s been through the system.
“A Private Life”
A great example of thoughtful, modern noir that values psychological depth over straightforward plot devices.
“The Rip”
A mediocre entry in the already overcrowded dirty cop genre.
