American Fiction, the first film from Cord Jefferson, is the subject of this FU review from Hunter Lanier.Jeffrey Wright plays Monk, a novelist who's unsuccessful because his books aren't marketable enough. Frustrated with the culture trying to pigeonhole him as a "black author," Monk decides to lean into what they want him to be--purely for his own amusement--and his career explodes. Hunter discusses the movie's light satirical touch—nibbles rather than bites—the true butt of its jokes, its lack of a visual identity, and how it shares common ancestry with Dream Scenario.
