“A strong comedic voice and characters crafted with empathy and care” – Indiewire
Join us for the official relaunch of the Feel Good Film Club!
Oscar-winning American Fiction is Cord Jefferson’s hilarious directorial debut, which confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who’s 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.
Nominated for 5 Oscars including Best Film, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor (Jeffrey Wright) and Best Supporting Actor (Sterling K. Brown).
