The movie "American Fiction" revolves around a comedy-drama narrative, depicting the story of a disillusioned African-American novelist. In the plot, the author pens a satirical take on "black" literature, leading to unexpected fame and recognition. It's a great original story in which the author both satirizes and delves into the realm of literary creations. The story explores the contrast between works crafted solely for audience enjoyment and those born from extensive studies and research, often overlooked by that very audience.

The script is filled with remarkable lines, balancing humor with moments that prompt contemplation and analysis of marginalized black literature. It also sheds light on the expectations imposed by the white audience, urging conformity to a specific narrative assigned to the black population and their language.

The big disappointment of the story is the ending. The foundation constructed throughout the movie is unraveled by various versions of the ending. It seems as though both the author and the director succumb to conforming with the audience's expectationst.
