"American Fiction" is a biting satire that primarily takes aim at the liberal elite. The plot revolves around a respected but unsuccessful black author who publishes a novel rife with stereotypes about black people under a pseudonym in protest, which subsequently becomes a smash hit.
Jeffrey Wright is brilliant in the lead role. With his dry reactions to the absurd circumstances, he provides many funny moments. As a supporting actor, Sterling K. Brown also manages to generate some laughs in a small but not insignificant role. In addition to the satire part, "American Fiction" is also a family drama, and this aspect left me rather cold. Fortunately, the focus is on the satire, as this is what ultimately helped the film (quite rightly) to receive several Oscar nominations.
