The Big Picture
- Jeffrey Wright shines in American Fiction as struggling author Thelonious "Monk" Ellison, who hilariously attempts to write a bestselling "Black book" under a pseudonym after realizing the demand for such literature.
- Monk's parody, filled with stereotypes, unexpectedly becomes a massive success, bringing him money, attention, and even a movie deal starring Michael B. Jordan. However, he must navigate moral and comedic implications as he pretends to be the controversial author Stagg R. Leigh.
- Directed by Cord Jefferson, American Fiction is receiving rave reviews, winning the People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. With an all-star cast including Tracee Ellis Ross and Sterling K. Brown, this satirical comedy is a must-watch when it releases on December 15.
