Jeffrey Wright stars as Thelonious “Monk” Ellison, a struggling writer who decides half-jokingly to write a book that leans heavily into “Black” stereotypes to appease his publishing company (but, also, a little out of spite). The book, however, becomes an unexpected critical and financial success, and Ellison is faced with dealing with the fame and fallout from his underhanded act.

A smart and sharp comedy, AMERICAN FICTION has been highly praised by critics and is considered by many to be Jeffrey Wright’s finest performance in a career full of stellar roles. Featuring a fantastic supporting cast that includes Tracee Ellis Ross, Sterling K Brown, and John Ortiz, AMERICAN FICTION has not only won numerous awards on the independent film festival circuit, but has also been nominated for Best Picture by both the Golden Globes and The Critic’s Choice awards councils.
