Welcome to my site! My name is Andrea Thompson, and I’m a writer, editor, and film critic who is a member of the Chicago Indie Critics and also the founder and director of the Film Girl Film Festival, which you can find more info about at filmgirlfilm.com! I have no intention of becoming any less obsessed with cinema, comics, or nerdom in general.
We’re not just tired of superhero movies—we’re tired of the same old dystopias, too. That’s what keeps Jackpot! in sugar-high territory when it could be a truly nourishing cinematic meal. It refuses to reach for anything but low-hanging fruit.
