Terrific performances and solid direction make this true story of larger-than-life televangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker worth seeing.

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”!

“Lakewood”
A lame thriller that’s distasteful, insulting, exploitative, and grossly insincere.
“The Starling”
This bittersweet, sentimental story of a couple having difficulty coping with a tragic loss is one of hope, friendship, and sincerity.
“Julia”
A terrific documentary about the beloved cookbook author and chef who inspired so many.
“Earwig
An acquired taste for a select few, this film is so abstract that it seems like its sole reason for existence is to be weird.
“Aloners”
A wistful story about relationships: building new ones and repairing damaged ones. It’s a meaningful film that’s filled with hope and optimism, even if it takes a little while to get there.
