Plot

[edit]

Thelonious "Monk" Ellison is a well-read,black elite writer and professor living inLos Angeles. His novels receive academic praise but sell poorly, and his publishers reject his latest manuscript for not being "Black" enough. His superiors place him on temporary leave due to his brashness with students over racial issues and suggest that he attend a literaryseminar in his hometown ofBoston. His panel at the seminar is sparsely attended, in contrast to a packed room for an interview with Sintara Golden, whose bestselling novelWe's Lives in Da Ghetto shamelessly panders toBlack stereotypes.

In Boston, Monk has dinner with his mother Agnes, who hasAlzheimer's disease, and his sister Lisa, a physician. While having drinks with Monk, Lisa suffers a fatal heart attack. Their estranged brother Cliff, a plastic surgeon, attends Lisa's funeral. Newly divorced andout of the closet, Cliff engages in frequent drug use and casual sex. Monk meets Coraline, a lawyer living across the street from his mother's beach house, and begins dating her.

Frustrated by the costs of care for his mother and resenting Sintara's success, Monk writesMyPafology, afake memoir novel mocking the literary stereotypes expected from Black writers: melodramatic plots, deadbeat dads, gang violence, and drugs. After submitting it to publishers out of contempt, he is shocked to be offered a $750,000advance, which he reluctantly accepts to pay for his mother's care. Hisagent Arthur convinces him to adopt a cover persona, an escaped convict named "Stagg R. Leigh", to protect his reputation. As "Stagg", Monk is offered a movie deal from film producer Wiley. In response to patronizing comments by the publishing executives, Monk tries to sabotage the deal by demanding the title be changed toFuck, but the publishers concede to his ultimatum. Monk is invited to help judge the New England Book Association'sLiterary Award as part of a "diversity push" and he reluctantly accepts. Sintara is a fellow judge, and Monk is surprised to discover that she shares many of his views.

Agnes moves into an expensiveassisted-living facility but adapts poorly. Cliff briefly returns to Boston but leaves after Agnes makes ahomophobic remark.Fuck becomes a bestseller, much to Monk's shock and chagrin. Monk's family, friends, and the public remain unaware that he is "Stagg", and theFBI contacts the publisher for information on the whereabouts of "Stagg."

Monk's publisher submitsFuck for the Literary Award, forcing him to judge his own novel. After learning that Coraline enjoyed readingFuck, Monk argues with her over liking it and the two break up. The panel's white judges rave overFuck, though Sintara deems the subject matter "pandering." While Monk agrees, he argues that Sintara's book is "trauma porn" and inauthentic to herblack middle-class background. Sintara counters that she researched her book by interviewing voiceless people and was just giving the market what it wants.

On family housekeeper Lorraine's wedding day, Monk finds Cliff living in Agnes's beach house with two other men, but Lorraine is happy to have him attend the wedding. At the reception, Monk and Cliff discuss the impact of their father's suicide, with Cliff encouraging Monk to let people love "all of him."

At the awards ceremony,Fuck is announced as the winner. Monk goes onstage and says he has a confession to make. The film cuts to black, and the events shown are revealed to have been Monk's screenplay based on his experiences, written for Wiley's production company as an alternative to theFuck film adaptation. In reality, Monk quietly left the ceremony and is still estranged from Coraline. Wiley likes the screenplay but asks Monk to change the ambiguous ending.

Monk proposes an ending with him running away from the ceremony to apologize to Coraline, but Wiley says it feels too much like a romantic comedy. Monk then suggests one where police, believing Monk to be wanted criminal "Stagg",fatally shoot him at the ceremony. Much to Monk's dismay, Wiley loves it and the film moves into production. Monk drives away with Cliff after he and one of Wiley's actors, playing aplantation slave, acknowledge each other.

[edit]
Cord Jefferson made his directorial debut withAmerican Fiction.

In November 2022,Jeffrey Wright was cast in the untitled film, based on the 2001 novelErasure byPercival Everett.Cord Jefferson would adapt the novel, with the film being his directorial debut.[5][6]T-Street Productions andMRC Film produced the film. In December 2022,Tracee Ellis Ross,Erika Alexander,Leslie Uggams,Sterling K. Brown,Myra Lucretia Taylor,John Ortiz,Issa Rae, andAdam Brody joined the cast.[7] The film wrapped production inBoston in early December, withCOVID-19 safety precautions used on set.[8] That month,MGM'sOrion Pictures acquired the film's worldwide distribution rights.[9] As a first-time filmmaker, Jefferson said he was such a fan of Wright's that he was nervous to give him feedback; it was producer Nikos Karamigios who, on the first day of shooting, encouraged him to be more assertive as a director. The film was shot in twenty-six days, with most scenes being completed with few (three to four)takes.[10] In July 2023, with the announcement of its world premiere, the film's title was reported to beAmerican Fiction.[11] It is the first film from Orion to be distributed throughAmazon MGM Studios Distribution, following Amazon's acquisition of MGM the year before, which also resulted in the 2021 MGM logo being added to the beginning of the film.[12]

Critical response

[edit]
Jeffrey Wright andSterling K. Brown garnered critical acclaim for their performances and earnedAcademy Award nominations forBest Actor andBest Supporting Actor.

On thereview aggregator websiteRotten Tomatoes, 93% of 285 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.2/10. The website's consensus reads: "Jeffrey Wright and American Fiction will forever be inextricable thanks to the actor's committed approach to the pointedly humorous and insightful material."[22]Metacritic, which uses aweighted average, assigned the film a score of 81 out of 100, based on 54 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[23] Audiences polled byPostTrak gave the film a 90% positive score, with 83% saying they would definitely recommend it.[19]

In her review forThe Hollywood Reporter, Lovia Gyarke wrote that "American Fiction is smart and, thanks to its fine cast, has genuine heart", commending Wright's "subtle physicality … that contributes depth to his character", as well as "Uggams' increasingly somber performance as Agnes and Brown's delightful comedic turn".[24] Peter Debruge forVariety, applauded Jefferson's writing prowess, likening him toFlannery O'Connor andToni Morrison, whose works were both referenced in the film. To Debruge, Jefferson "trusts his audience to bring themselves to the material", which is "what makes reading "American Fiction" so rewarding."[25] Peyton Robinson writing forRogerEbert.com highlighted Jefferson's writing as the key takeaway from this film, stating that his "attentive lens" to the film's "concept and themes is what will be remembered". Robinson goes on to identify the distinguishable legacy within the script, emphasizing Jefferson's "sharply pointed finger at the many institutional factors that keep [Black art], and its creators, restrained."[26]

Sarah Lyall ofThe New York Times covered Jeffrey Wright in a feature about his career and his role inAmerican Fiction, claiming that Wright's "exquisitely calibrated" performance demonstrates "[Wright's] ability to elevate any movie or TV show simply by appearing in it." Lyall goes on to celebrate that Wright "has a way of burrowing so deeply into his characters that he seems almost to be hiding in plain sight."[27]Stephanie Zacharek atTime magazine also highlighted the lead star's performance, admiring that "Wright brings it all to life". Zacharek notes that Wright does so "not with thunderous, statement-making gestures, but with small ones that remind us how vulnerable Monk is", even amidst the protagonist's "own raging intelligence".[28]

FilmmakerGina Prince-Bythewood praised writer-director Cord Jefferson, stating that an artist's first work should tell the world who they are and Jefferson "has screamed into a bullhorn. Bold, chaotic, unflinching, personal. Cord has channeled his creative truths into a searing indictment of biased norms."[29] Other filmmakers, includingRachel Morrison andPaul Schrader, also praised the film.[30]

Accolades

[edit]

TheAmerican Film Institute placedAmerican Fiction as one of its top 10 films of 2023, praising Jefferson's writing as "the arrival of a powerful voice in American film", Wright's "triumphant" performance, and the ensemble cast.[31]
