American Fiction 2023

Before writing my review of this movie, I did something that I usually never do: I read the user reviews at tratktv.com. Not surprisingly, the comments on this movie are all over the place: it was a social commentary, b-movie plot, heavy handed, satirical, funny, exploitive.... well, you get the picture. Were we all watching the same movie? Yes, of course. And I think that is part of the brilliance of the movie. In a weird kind of way it very much reminded me of Barbie. The movie can work at a very superficial level, but if the viewer dares to look underneath, there seems to be a limitless amount of layers that can be investigated. It isn't surprising that we all saw it differently. I love a movie that allows a viewer to get inside and crawl around in it. It is easily in my top 5 of the year.
