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.

"The dumber I behave, the richer I get." A statement for our times.
-
0:23 The fact that a white woman is the first one to stand up and clap is the most accurate thing ever.
-
I think it's great that a movie is tackling the bigotry of low expectations. It seems the "authentic black experience" is always painted in the most stereotypical way, and if someone deviates from the stereotypes they are "acting white".
-
This is what I want from black cinema!! It’s a satirical take on how the usage of “black culture” sells and can get you famous but it’s not advantageous for artists who see how they must act a certain way to be successful in the industries they’re in. Congrats to Cord Jefferson and this flawless cast! 🙏🏾
-
This looks like a must watch. As a black man, I’m always critical of the parts of our culture that glorify the lowest common denominator. This movie looks poised to shine an entertaining light on that cultural shortcoming.
-
Besides loving the cast, I have to say that I haven't laughed this much just on a trailer alone in quite some time. I'm here for this one. 🤣🤣🤣
-
Just saw this. It’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long long time. So intelligent. Great comedy. Great writing. Great performances. I’m telling everyone to see it.
-
That white lady who stands up and claps can't wait to meme that lol
-
This is SO real. I remember when I started writing as a journalist, everybody kept telling me, "I know it hurts, but you have to dumb it down so people can understand." How I felt it: "Your writing sucks. It's unintelligible, and you should change careers." That lasted until I started writing as if I were talking to a funny friend who only wanted to know what happened. Things improved, but it still hurts.
-
I have NEVER gone back and watched a trailer before but this was brilliant and I can't wait to see this movie. Jeffrey Wright is a brilliant actor.
-
"My Pafology" killed me!🤣
-
My wife and I saw American Fiction earlier today. It is one of the best movies I have seen in years, with the best scripts I've seen in years and some of the best acting I've seen in years; the best musical scores I've heard EVER, and the closing music is EXCELLENT. I give this movie 99.9 out of 100.

Remember when Bamboozled came out and people said it was one of Spike Lee's worst? That movie was ahead of its time and everyone owes him an apology.
-
As a person in publishing business for years I loved the story, how it mocks popular culture and stereotyping. Also one of my favorite actors Jeffrey Wright is the lead. This is a definite must see for me.
-
Bamboozled 2... Nice.......
-
As an Indigenous Artist, I'm always pigeons holed into people always asking why I don't make "traditional art", which is the commodification of our many and diverse cultures. I definitely want to watch this, and have been a huge fan of Wright's since I saw him in Angels in America when I was a teen. We need more stories like this. WE control the narrative.
-
I love Jeffrey Wright. He’s such an amazing actor. “This Juneteenth . . . December” 😂
-
This is so refreshingly original, can't wait to watch!
-
Saw this last night and LOVED IT!! The whole theatre was cracking up at the insanity of where we’re at in society that this is reality.
-
It's really two stories. Society and their expectations. And family and their expectations.
