American Fiction (2023)


Cord Jefferson's American Fiction is the best screenplay of the year. This movie is so funny. It also has some fabulous performances. 

American Fiction surprised me constantly, and every time I thought the movie had moved into totally satirical territory, the script brought me back to a sensitive, human, real set of confusing feelings. This is a very good movie and I loved it. 

Extra kudos to Erika Alexander who I loved instantly and to Sterling K. Brown who is kind of miscast but is typically stellar.
