Everyone’s mad here: ‘American Fiction’

MGM; Click image to view trailer!!

"American Fiction" is a slice of Dramedy heaven. The film, directed by Cord Jefferson, revolves around Monk, a disillusioned novelist who is fed up with the entertainment industry's exploitation of Black culture. He adopts a pen name and writes a provocative book that exposes the hypocrisy and madness he criticizes. Jeffrey Wright delivers a standout performance as Monk, capturing the character's frustrations and disdain. I thought this film had an excellent flow, exposing information as you’d expect. Additionally, it’s a pleasure to see Issa Rae, who consistently brings her best to the screen. "American Fiction", in my view, offers an exploration of cultural appropriation and the compelling power dynamics within the industry.
