Otra vez la preocupación sobre cuán 'fake' cuán 'tendy', cuán idiota es el stablishment que sigue una modas, engaños y tendencias; esta vez desde voces negras que enfrentan estereotipos más corrientes de lo que parecen, aunque distintos de la caricatura que hace la película. Flojea hacia el final. Ironía: está o no está dentro de la cuota negra del Oscar?

“I remember seeing the trailer for American Fiction over a year ago and thinking this was a biting take on the state of publishing today and while I had an idea of where they were going, this far exceeded every expectation. Jeffrey Wright is, once again, such an exceptional talent and handles the role of an exasperated author with deft hands. Wright's " Thelonious 'Monk' Ellison" is joined by a cast of characters where each performance is as strong as the next. His siblings, portrayed by Tracee Ellis Ross and Sterling K.
