    AMERICAN FICTION announces the arrival of a powerful voice in American film - Cord Jefferson - who pens a new chapter in our understanding of how stories are told - and by whom. Jeffrey Wright delivers a triumphant performance with a lightning bolt of righteous rage and a thunderclap of humor - exploring the complexities of identity, hypocrisy and heartbreak. The film is further elevated by a peerless ensemble that demands we embrace a world beyond stereotype.
