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.

Rated: 2.5/4

"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.

Rated: B

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.

Rated: 5/5

“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.

Rated: 3/5

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.

It's been many years since I've seen "Chasing Amy,' but I remember it well and enjoyed it. This documentary about the movie and cast was fascinating and enlightening it was a pleasure to see the original cast and get new insights!

So much more than a fan's film! Far from pollyannaism it puts it focus on the more problematic aspects of "Chasing Amy" and the stories around it. Sensitively and rigorously told. Worth a watch - and I didn't like "Chasing Amy" to begin with ;-)

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I loved the authenticity Sav brings to this film. The scene with Joey is my favorite. I have seen this film three times and I want to bring all my friends to see it. It is a must see. Vulnerability and rawness are my jam and this film has that. There are layers to this film I didn’t expect. The love story within this was so sweet….queer joy! Thank you Sav (and team) for making this!
