I saw American Fiction the day after the Oscars without having any idea it won one.
I liked it a lot, although it has issues. It's genuinely funny in places and sorrowful in others. It does a good job of bringing the act of writing to the screen, which is a very hard thing to do. Some of the satire is pretty spot on, but it's also based on a book from 20 years ago and can feel it in places. It does some not-unique but well executed fourth wall breaks which really tie into its general theme. The way it deals with some of the themes does sort of let the film off the hook for fence sitting on some themes though. The cast is bloody superb though and give great performances. It's pretty amazing looking considering it was made for no money (in movie terms) and in about four weeks or something.
I enjoyed that one. I thought it took a while setting up the story before getting to the premise but it was worth it.
Yeah, it seems like "Oscar-bait" but good "Oscar-bait." I may watch it.
