Movie Review: American Fiction 2023. Sarcastic wit. Hilarious punchline. Must Watch!
I gave this movie a pass at first. But the hype from the Oscars made me watch it and I enjoyed this movie a lot! For a comedy, it dealt with quite a lot of serious topics. The last act is kinda messy but the punchline hit right.
It’s a clever story. The structure is clever. The characters are clever. The dialog is clever. The ending is hilarious. MUST WATCH!
Did you find the movie (and dialog) clever? I like the sister, Lisa, a lot!
