Sinners and Stranger Than Fiction so far.

Sinners was a bit of a mess but it was stylish and I thought there was an interesting moral ambiguity to the supernatural element that has kept me thinking about it for a few days.

Sinners spoilerIt is implied that the pagan Irish vampire was similarly oppressed by Christians in the past and he is offering the people in the juke joint the chance to escape prejudice by integrating with a wider society at the cost of becoming more homogeneous and losing part of their black identity.

Stranger Than Fiction is quite old now but a fun drama/comedy with Will Ferrel which seems like it must have influenced The Stanley Parable game.
