I have been a fan of Jeffery Wright since I saw him in Shaft in 2000. I know he had done more, but that is when he caught my eye and loved him there. Even more so I have loved seeing his evolution in so many other performances over the years, so if he is involved, I am interested. His latest film American Fiction teams him up with first time feature director Cord Jefferson and co-stars Tracee Ellis Ross, John Ortiz, Sterling K. Brown, Erika Alexander, Adam Brody, Issa Rae, and Keith David.

​

American Fiction follows Monk, a frustrated novelist whose 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.
