31st October – American Fiction (2023)

1h 57m Comedy, Drama R
Stars: Jeffrey Wright, Tracee Ellis Ross, John Ortiz


AMERICAN FICTION is Cord Jefferson’s hilarious directorial debut, which confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, 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.

Review: Critics Consensus: “Jeffrey Wright and American Fiction will forever be inextricable thanks to the actor’s committed approach to the pointedly humorous and insightful material.”

Audience Says: “Smart, funny, and poignant, American Fiction will make you laugh as often as it makes you think.”
