Five star Letterboxd Review of Chasing Chasing Amy from Sheena R. They are so many things I wanna say but it feels like I have so little time. This is probably one of the greatest documentaries I’ve ever seen and it has given me a whole new level of respect for Kevin Smith which is something that I never believed was possible. This documentary is just so raw, so queer and so feminist with what it speaks on is just something I never expected to see from a documentary on a Kevin Smith movie. I felt seen as a queer person. Which I think is something that all lgbtq people want, is to be seen and understood. That’s all I can say without feeling all goopy Thank you Sav!

And, of course, CHASING CHASING AMY is available to watch everywhere if you want to see what all happened after I delivered that TED Talk.

Here’s a nice Letterboxd review about it!

Watching actors playing actors is always interesting (recent examples are Elle Fanning in Sentimental Value, Noah Jupe in Hamnet) and Industry's Harry Lawtey does a great job of selling Welsh schoolboy Richard Jenkins transformation into the biggest star of the 60s - Richard Burton
