American Fiction

8.4 - almost love. Very funny & provides way more drama than expected but balances well. Wright gives maybe a career performance. I had some questions at choices made at the end - did they underscore or cheapen the message? Also think it could have pushed boundaries even more.

One of the best movies of the year. It’s funny, sad, touching…just a mixed bag of emotions. The cast is exceptional, the score hits the moments in the right way, and the story is almost perfect. It pokes major fun at today’s cultural beats, but the end didn’t land for me. 9/10

Really enjoyed this movie. Laughed so much and it had a good message to it as well. I wasn’t sure at the start but it definitely grew on me as it got going!

pretty good, not amazing

.

Brilliant character writing with a lot of cynical observational comedy moments amidst a family driven drama. Lacked a bit of depth at some points, but nevertheless is a fun and thought provoking movie at the same time and switches emotions on a dime in well done fashion.
9/10
