The movie American Fiction directed by Cord Jefferson is about African Americans who are far from stereotypicals in the news on NY1 channel. The movie is focused on a family of 2 brothers and a sister. 1 brother is Cliff, a Plastic surgeon in AZ (excellent acting by Sterling Brown from NBC This is US), sister Lisa who is a practicing ObGyn in MA and then quiet, writer brother Thelonius (actor Jeffrey Wright) from CA. All 3 siblings are busy with their work and Lisa has additional responsibility of taking care of their mother who is beginning to show signs of dementia. Thelonius also called Monk flies from CA to MA to meet Lisa and discuss mom's health. Conversations between siblings is free flowing and extremely pleasant. Due to turn of events, Monk is now in MA trying to sort out matters and also trying hard to publish his book which is repeatedly rejected by well known publishers. John Ortiz as Arthur who is the only one in publishing world on Monk's side encourages monk to write under a pseudonym. The movie has hilarious moments laced with thought provoking insights associated with the preconceived notions about African American race . Jeffrey Wright is excellent as Monk . I enjoyed script a lot and conversations between siblings is great. Some unnecessary scenes made the movie seem longer than1 hr 57 min. Oscar worthy acting.
