Monk (Jeffrey Wright) is a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.

“Pointed, wryly funny, and well-cast, American Fiction is easy to recommend for its humour and timely commentary.”  (Liam Lacey, Original-Cin)

“As much of a wry hoot as it is, with Wright as the film’s enjoyably irascible lead, Jefferson [director and writer] also weaves in a dysfunctional family drama that gives it emotional heft to complement the hilarity.”  (Brian Truitt, USA Today)

“American Fiction fully understands that you don’t have to sacrifice art or politics for entertainment, satisfying those who want a rich thematic experience or to just have a laugh in a crowded theater.”  (Mike Shutt, Slashfilm)
