Chasing Chasing Amy

The moment marks a turning point in Rodgers’s agreeable documentary, which sets out to provide a contemporary lens on “Chasing Amy.”

Starts as another in a long line of disposable auto-docs from ppl desperate to lend their pop culture darlings greater cultural significance before becoming something a bit more complicated in its back half.

"Chasing Chasing Amy" is an insightful look back at the movie and the place it occupies in queer culture, the '90s canon and the lives of those it touched, both for better and for worse. It's well worth chasing down.

This documentary is ultimately a strong and important examination of how popular entertainment can touch and move us in unexpected and deeply personal ways.

Chasing Chasing Amy itself shows Rodgers’ own love story in formation...

Sav... is far too awed to query Smith’s prurient ham-fisting of the queer experience. Nor does he offer nuanced, detailed insight into why Amy’s fluid sexuality offered him a framework for his identity.

These inner dramas eventually take center stage, with Rodgers ultimately realizing that whatever mysterious purpose Chasing Amy played in his life has since been fulfilled, replaced with more meaningful growth.

Chasing Chasing Amy is an impressive reminder that discussions on the art of filmmaking can be much more nuanced.

“Chasing Chasing Amy” is a fan’s story that grapples affectionately with the complicated legacy of Smith’s film.

It's something how Chasing Chasing Amy ... expands so much over the course of its narrative.
