I'd love to see American Fiction, but it's not showing anywhere near me.

I hope you get the chance. It's a really wonderful movie. I don't think Barbie is going to get the recognition it deserves, so American Fiction might the "underdog" I root for in the awards season. It deserves all the love.

Any of these lists that don’t have Godzilla Minus One and Cocaine Bear as the top two are meaningless.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Cocaine Bear is surprisingly bland. With that title and an R rating you think they would've gone for it but it's like a kids movie

Sitting at 6.8 on IMDb. I won't let that affect my enjoyment, but it's a little disappointing that people aren't liking it more.

Michael Mann is not for everyone. I kinda expected that reaction. His movies are beloved with time.

Haven’t seen it yet, but I hear it’s much more of a romantic drama than the ads suggest?
I think it focus on both of his wifes and children but it seems its more of a character study of Ferrari himself.
