Editor’s note: Here’s a quick take on American Fiction (2023): It leans into its Comedy, Drama roots without feeling derivative. Under Cord Jefferson’s direction, the film keeps a steady rhythm and a clear sense of place. Standout turns from Jeffrey Wright, John Ortiz, Erika Alexander keep it engaging even in quieter stretches. Clocking in at 1h 57m, the pacing is controlled, with room to breathe. Solid if imperfect—its strengths outweigh a few rough edges. Worth a watch for the craft alone, even beyond the genre appeal.
