I couldn't wait to see this movie. The casts are some of my favorite actors. American Fiction is an enjoyable and thought-provoking movie, especially to a closet writer. Jeffrey Wright, Sterling Brown, Leslie Uggams and Erika Alexander are great. It's funny and poignant without being in your face preachy. I think it's a movie anyone would enjoy. That being said I really don't find its story Oscar worthy nor are the performances in particular. Don't get me wrong Jeffrey Wright should have been recognized long ago and Sterling K Brown is good in everything he has done. But the story itself if lacking. Origin should have been given a chance to compete. It's an Oscar worthy story and the lead performer gives an Oscar worthy performance.

But I get off subject. For a good time and something to discuss with your Black friends and your true White friends, so see America Fiction.
