Chicago Critics Film Festival 2022: Days 1 and 2

Oh hello there! Welcome to another edition of new movie review monologues in which I sit in front of my microphone and share thoughts on some recent titles I’ve seen. The Chicago Critics Film Festival is taking place at The Music Box Theatre from May 13-19. This is the only film festival I can attend and cover at length so let’s commence. Here are reviews of titles such as AFTER (A LOVE STORY), A LOVE SONG, EMILY THE CRIMINAL, MY DUDUS, TO LESLIE and WATCHER. I also briefly mention MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON (though it’s not a full review). Full list of titles that played Collin’s program linked below. The next edition of this will include an interview with a director. Get your tickets via the link below, stay tuned for more!
