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”!

“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.
“Mam”
A heartfelt, deeply personal portrait of culinary ambition that captures the messy, passionate reality of chasing a dream.
“#WhileBlack”
This timely and vital documentary offers a powerful look at how everyday people are reshaping accountability and recording history in real time.
“Heartworm”
The idea of bereaved parents turning to a virtual ecosystem to hold onto what they’ve lost is emotionally rich territory, but the movie just can’t get out of its own way.
