Independent, Foreign & Documentary Film Reviews

An ensemble of some of England’s finest actors, a satire on contemporary American culture, the latest from the unique mind of filmmaker Guy Maddin, the relationship between the newly elected Pope …and his therapist.

These are just some of the independent, documentary and foreign films critics Cynthia Haines, Steve Walker and Bob Butler review on Friday's Up to Date.

We'll also talk with Patty Schemel, subject of the documentary Hit So Hard: The Life and Near Death Story of Patty Schemel. Schemel was the drummer for Courtney Love's rock band "Hole" and survived years of drug abuse to become a happy and healthy woman.
