Chasing Amy [1997] review

After recently watching Clerks and Mallrats, and being older than I was upon my first viewing of Chasing Amy, I found this movie to still hold up and really speak volumes about the gay and lesbian community without being too preachy like I felt Dogma was (a movie I plan to re-watch soon as well), and not being too demeaning. I really found myself rooting for the main actors and really being supportive of Joey Lauren Adams' character's views as it made sense to me now that I'm 18 years older and I could synopsize and relate based on my own personal experiences with my LGBT friends and with ex-girlfriends who have had wild pasts compared to my own. Kevin Smith really hit a high note with this movie; it really stands out compared to his other films, films that I still enjoy, but this one is special.
