American Fiction

Not trying to be "that guy," but I've literally never heard of this one



Might have only been advertised in theaters. I liked it. It may not have a wide audience because people won't know what they are supposed to think about it.

Jeffrey Wright was very good in it. He's pretty reliable.

film follows a frustrated novelist-professor who writes an outlandishly stereotypical "black" book as satire, only for the book to be published to high sales and praise.


The satire hits very hard at the bigotry of low expectations of wealthy liberal whites and the opportunism of some blacks making material to take advantage of that market. It was written in 2001 but is more relevant today post Ibram X. Kendi.
