"American fiction" promised it was a comedy drama with a message. But despite almost having enough drama, and nearly enough laughs. The overall result is as underwhelming as how the main character finds everything.

I struggled with the movie because i found that most the characters did nothing but moan, and largerly wanted to be treated like they were something special. Like the Sterling K Brown character. He's caught doing all sorts and everyone's cool with it. But he still complains.

The story is also a problem overall. As there isn't one once the movie decides its not even going to have an ending. Or something. But the drama and humour has worn thin by then anyway.
