Chasing Amy

...är och förblir Kevin Smiths intellektuella och dramatiska höjdpunkt.

...the romantic confusion and soul-searching, the explorations of desire and sexual ''correctness'' — all feel messy and passionate and true.

...has a poignant, thought-provoking side which renders it a cut above your average bland rom-com.

His strength is the ability to create characters and give them dialogue that's alive and charged. Like Quentin Tarantino, he is willing to follow his characters into the subjects that obsess them...

...remains for me the relative high point of Smith's career, combining some of his strongest writing with an emotional maturity he's never since been able to match.
