Uneven, eccentric, and occasionally too clever for its own good, the film is a modestly affecting portrait of dreamers on the margins.

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”!

“Blue Moon”
This bruised conversation about art and failure is a beautifully faded portrait of a man who knew he’d already written his last hit.
“Regretting You”
It’s melodramatic and corny, but the film also captures women’s inner lives with honesty as grief and love intertwine.
“The Man Who Saves the World?”
What sounds like the setup for a mockumentary turns out to be a wild, heartfelt, and surprisingly funny trip around the world.
“Dog Man”
Brings the wildly popular graphic novels to the big screen with all the goofy energy, slapstick humor, and heart fans would expect.
“Dead Giveaway”
A macabre romp about friendship, poor decisions, and the kind of weekend that could end in either a jail cell or at a champagne brunch.
