Chasing Amy (1997)

An intelligent and provocative low-budget film with big-budget talent and look, making it an exceptional independent effort.

...Smith makes raw and naturalistic, highly verbal films full of frank talk about sex; making the audience uncomfortable is part of the point.

... an important movie about young people lost in the Gen-X labyrinth who are giving it a try [and] risking their hearts to find some kind of answer.

It is evident that Kevin Smith is maturing both as a writer and a human being.

Smith's handling of actors has improved considerably. Now if he would stop looking for some goofy hook to build his movies around.

Indie god Kevin Smith's finest hour gets the Criterion treatment.

It's a tribute to a smartly written script that the triangular relationships are played out in hip, flip language, but are not trivialized. These characters may be wry, rude and foul-mouthed, but they are grappling with honest human emotion.

What really make the film special is that, while still being packed with foul language and pop culture references, this film is the only one in which Smith really seems to care about his characters and their lives.

Não é difícil perceber quando um filme foi feito com carinho. 'Procura-se Amy' é um exemplo claro disso.

Covers the tricky turf of sexual politics with zest and creativity.
