Review of Matinee (1993) by Matt G — 24 Mar 2018

Is there anything more satisfying as a film fan than discovering a forgotten gem? How about a forgotten gem that expresses a bleeding heart love for cinema? Matinee is a fantastic nostalgia trip about the Cold War & the opportunity movies provide for anyone looking to escape reality, while coming out more fully understanding it.

Dante walks this balance through honesty about the time, & a whole heap of loving humor about suburban paranoia. And if Dante doesn't film "Mant" before he dies, I'll be very sad.
