Watch the official trailer for #AmericanFiction, starring Jeffrey Wright, Tracee Ellis Ross, Issa Rae, and Sterling K. Brown. From Writer/Director Cord Jefferson. Only in theaters this December.
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.

Wait didn't Spike Lee did a movie like this? Bamboozled
yep, black anti-white racism in full Hollywood throttle …. but as a white dude, I am used to black peoples racism…
Ok, tide is turning, Hollywood now gona capitalize on the antiwoke-woke should at least be funnier
Just watched the full movie. Ion know. I just don't know.
This movie was simply amazing!!! Would love to see more black movies like this👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Jeffrey look young af in this
How does the narrative change ? Cool movie. Took me on an interesting journey. 💜
you are what you eat
This looks great
Watched it today – great movie!
The shot where the middle aged white woman in the crowd with the perfect blonde/grey bob and sanctimonious air, leaps to her feet, literally blocking out the black man… is one of the most perfect shots in cinema – no dialogue just a 2 second frame that says it all. The way people are, versus the way you need people to be to suit your own agenda.
Too many bleeps in this horror movie.
This brilliantly lampoons what too often passes for brilliance for what it is – bland and bigoted and shallow. Jeffrey is a magnificent actor.
I walked away feeling like this movie didn't like white people.
Wypipo…smh
I sometimes think Mike Tyson is a really sophisticated cultured person. He just acts crazy to feet the stereotype.
Looks like a serious version of Hollywood Shuffle from the 80's
This is like the Tale of Scrotie Mcbugerballs.
good movie !!
Blisteringly good script yet warm and funny.
Facebook encourages organic promotion
watched this movie last night. I highly, highly recommend watching this movie.
It's really two stories. Society and their expectations. And family and their expectations.
Excellent Flick!!
Bahahahahahahaha
Beautiful
While this movie was good, I think the trailer doesn't represent it very well.
The author writing a fake book is made out to be the main plot point, which is hilarious and they should have written it around this. But, most of the movie is about the character dealing with personal and family issues.
It is by all means a good movie, but the parts shown here are basically all of the "fake book and fake author" parts.
I just watched it. The biggest joke in the film: All the black people living in greater Boston. Super unrealistic, but I suppose it’s part of the movies satire.
From West World to American Fiction … dope
How did I miss this movie?? I work too much! And yes I’m a black man with multiple jobs raising a family yes we really do exist lol but this is a must see movie!
Netflix good times trailer brought me here
Just watched last night, this movie is hilarious. I'm still giggling thinking about it
The moral of the story and the case+point of the film are both in the Oscar win… I hope we catch that… ❤
One of the best movies I saw in a looooong while!!
yall i hated the ending
Looks,funny and done intelligently
Life is a tragedy to those who feel, and a comedy to those who think.
so family guy brians book episode xd
jesus christ even im cringing from the guy's cringing of lying to/about himself
The irony of having Issa be the author and her reading that trash when she in real life isn’t too far from her portrayal here. 😅 Idiosyncrasy. Don’t come for me.
ok then, now the PC version:
Is this movie intentionally trying to be raci55? Or is this the state-of-the-art 'literature'?
Absolutely fantastic movie
He’s such a wise intelligent black man, white people can’t understand him
I love this Movie
HMMMMM….
This is such a great movie! Enjoyed very bit of it great cast with topical narrative that was not to cheesy or cringely over done!! A must watch if you are in the mood for some feel good greatly written, shot and acted movie!
Its a must watch!! I watched on on a Plane!! Its a must watch for smart MEN of all races !!
Phenomenal movie !!!!!!!
I want to watch bc it looks like a great cast. However I want something light hearted and funny and not something that’s going to make me mad bc there’s truth to it.
In addition to the Black/White dichotomy chronicled in this story, there is also a deeper Smart/Dumb dichotomy that isn't chronicled but that is just as relevant to the professor's dilemma. Being extra smart, even if the Black/White distinction were eliminated, he would still not feel at home in our society.
