American Fiction

Exclusively at the Cape Cinema – AMERICAN FICTION is Cord Jefferson’s hilarious directorial debut, which confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.

“It’s a pleasure to be in the company of American Fiction as it mulls over these big ideas with agreeably pointed humor and weary huffs of insight. With this film, Jefferson announces himself as a director to watch.” – Richard Lawson, Vanity Fair

“American Fiction is smart and, thanks to its fine cast, has genuine heart.” – Lovia Gyarkye, Hollywood Reporter

“A whip-smart, nimble satire.” – Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
