College and high school serve as the backdrop for two separate stories about cruelty, deception, storytelling, and other people's suffering that are unrelated and have different actors, titled 'Fiction' and 'Non-Fiction'.
The film is marked by the same darkly humorous sensibility of rest of Solondz's work, excpet that the novelty is gone and the acerbic vision is now contained in a fractured text marred by poor storytelling and shifting tone--it's not easy to shock anymore
That Storytelling has value cannot be denied. Not even Solondz's thirst for controversy, sketchy characters and immature provocations can fully succeed at cheapening it.
