Nominated for Best Picture and and for Best Actor: Jeffrey Wright at this years Oscars. American Fiction is a smart and well-crafted film—one of the best written, most damning satires about racial stereotypes to hit movie screens in a very long time. The storyline revolves around an author/school teacher navigating a professional transition, personal family tragedies, and a budding relationship. This film stands out as a well-written gem. It offers a multi-layered narrative, addressing societal stereotypes along with deep subplots exploring family dynamics, sexuality, self-discovery, and the challenges of aging parents. The cast’s amazing chemistry and perfect interactions elevate the viewing experience, with Jeffrey Wright delivering an authentic and impressive performance that perfectly embodies his character. The storyline unfolds with impressive twists and turns, as an intelligent man like Monk cannot wrap his head around the fact that black books pandering to white readers who are trying to follow the rules is the new path to success. Filmmaker Cord Jefferson delivers the message (warning?) in a smart, funny movie. In conclusion, American Fiction is a smart and well-crafted film, an absolute must-see.
