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!

god bless lorraine & maynard

rating: 📚📚📚.5

the meta thing with the movie adapted from a book that’s about a person writing a book (that gets turned into a movie?) is kinda crazy, but they pulled it off so well. the cast was stacked, acting was great, just like a really well done movie

Witty, insightful, playful. A satirical take on what society wants us to create and how much we can fight back (or not)
