Review: 'Not Fade Away' grooves on '60s in coming-of-age drama

It's with David Chase's much-honored individualism in mind that one should best approach — and best enjoy — his first feature film as a writer-director, the wonderfully immersive and evocative "Not Fade Away." Despite the nostalgia-drenched idealism coursing through it — and a cinematic familiarity to the subject matter — this is not a story that's neatly told or safely predictable.
