Kind of an odd one, in the sense that it is less about the film, _Chasing Amy_ (1997), itself, and more about the producer of the documentary. I'm a big fan of Kevin Smith's films, however, _Chasing Amy_ has never been a favorite for me. That being said, I thought this would be worth a watch, just to gain some insight into the work of Smith. Were there some moments that gave me a deeper appreciation for _Chasing Amy_? Sure. Ultimately, I think the real issue here is that the documentary feels far too personal, as if I'm watching a private moment that just happened to be captured for anyone to see. I suppose I could recommend this to those who are huge fans of _Chasing Amy_, in particular. Maybe. You might have a different takeaway than I had. What felt very odd to me was the "critical" perspective from some of the interviewees. Unless you've already watched this, it's difficult to describe what I'm talking about other than double think. This is well made, just too personal for me to care about. Ergo, I can't give it more than a 5/10. If I were to use the Hard Cut rainbow scale, it would get a 5/5, for sure. If nothing else, it made me want to find the film _Go Fish_ (1994). Looks really '90s cool.
