A razor-sharp comedy that will drive you to laughter, embarrassment and exasperation, "American Fiction" follows Thelonious "Monk" Ellison (Jeffrey Wright), a writer whose career has stalled to a standstill because his novels aren't "Black" enough. Out of spite, he pens an overblown parody of a "Black" novel — and to his boundless horror it's an overnight sensation.
Cord Jefferson's Oscar-winning film is now streaming on MGM Plus in the U.S., and Prime Video elsewhere. If you're traveling abroad, we'll explain how to watch "American Fiction" online and from anywhere with a VPN.
