Review of Chasing Amy (1997) by Grant K — 06 Feb 2013
Chasing Amy is a brilliant and inspired indie comedy from writer/director Kevin Smith. Looking at issues of love and friendship, the story follows an unlikely romance that is put into jeopardy when past dalliances are brought to light.
The cast is led by Ben Affleck, Joey Lauren Adams, and Jason Lee, who all give solid performances. Smith's directing is rather restrictive, but his dialog is especially witty and raw. While ostensibly the film's a comedy, it's able to cleverly explore some deep and provocative social issues.
With Chasing Amy, Kevin Smith returns to his roots by telling a personal story that has something poignant to say.
