Category: Chicago Film Scene Reviews and Recs

It should come as no surprise that we at the Chicago Film Scene watch a lot of movies and TV. As filmmakers it’s more or less in our blood to watch everything we can. Plus, let’s be honest, it’s a fun hobby.

Here you’ll find reviews and recommendations for whatever we at CFS want to talk about. Maybe there’s a hot new movie that everyone is talking about and we want to add our voice to the conversation. Maybe there’s a TV show so obscure that few have heard of it but that deserves a new audience. Maybe it’s a list curated and organized like a cinematic playlist.

Either way, you’ll be in good hands for deciding what to watch next.
