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.

Chasing Chasing Amy is more than just a fan tribute for the 1997 comedy/drama Chasing Amy. This charming and insightful documentary has layers of meaningful perspectives of LGBTQ on-screen representation and off-screen dynamics in love and filmmaking.

What starts out as an insightful retrospective look at ‘Chasing Amy’ as a queer film turns into an incredibly moving story of the film-makers own journey with their identity and sexuality.

“Chasing Chasing Amy” is a unique film about how a movie can affect people differently and how even the filmmaker can’t predict what that outcome could be.

Does an amazing job of examining the problematic elements of the film’s story arc, as well as getting a lot of info on the genesis of the script, and most importantly, detailing Sav’s journey of discovery throughout the entire process.
