Does anyone else wish the fiction section was longer? I would have liked to have seen how Vi told her boyfriend about her encounter with her professor, as well as how Vi’s relationship with Marcus went after that. I also wonder how the rest of the encounter with Mr. Scott turned out.

Yeah, I thought it felt kind of incomplete, too.

I also felt like the scene where Marcus is looking at his reflection had more to it, as well. Like maybe something happened before with him, too.

I don’t think there is.

According to IMDB, the only thing that was cut was another section called “Autobiography,” but I also would have liked to have seen more scenes in fiction.

I read that Selma Blair’s character’s roommate supposedly had more scenes.

giamatti kills in this. when he's on the phone while the toilet flushes is all-time.

Or, maybe the full argument with Vi and Marcus when they break up over the phone. We don’t know what Marcus said to her.

I would have been fine with just fiction being a short film. I preferred fiction over non-fiction.

Same here.

I thought fiction would have been a good short film, too.

Marcus wasn’t upset about it. He even acknowledged that it was true in the next classroom scene.

Right, he was just upset about her story being torn apart by her classmates.

Yes, he and Mr. Scott were the only ones who knew it was true.

I would have liked to have seen those things, too.

I thought non-fiction was ok, but I agree about fiction being better. Wish Leo Fitzpatrick had more scenes, too. Like him comforting his girlfriend when she comes to see him.

Yeah, Leo was good in this.

In an interview, Leo thought he wasn’t good in this.

I think he was better in this than in Kids. More easy to sympathize with.
