American Fiction




 So i still haven't seen Anatomy of a Fall, Zone of Interest, or Past Lives, but i crossed off the 7th of 10 Oscar nominees today in American Fiction. I would say along with the Holdovers, Iron Claw & Barbie, this is the year's best. Save only Paul Giamatti for the Holdovers, Jeffery Wright gives the years best lead actor performance. Sterling K Brown also deserves his nomination even though i still give the edge to Mark Ruffalo for Poor Things. While i still will root for Poor Things and Barbie for best adapted screenplay, this here just feels like a perfect choice for the award. It isn't a raw film but it feels like a 90s indie at times, it also isn't afraid to push buttons and show some edge. So glad Dundee extended this for the week after last week's weather.
