13498040, I saw American Fiction this weekend. Didn't love it. Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Mon Jan-29-24 10:00 AM
And I am not sure how much that had to do with the misdirection in the marketing. This isn't much like Bamboozle at all. The satirical comedy aspects of it are a much smaller part of the movie than the commercials suggested.
It's mostly a family drama about an isolated frustrated writer. I guess it's a win because white filmmakers have been making that sort of film for years and racking up awards but I don't love those movies either.
I promised my wife I will watch it again at some point (she liked it) with the mindset of knowing it's not a comedy.
