AMERICAN FICTION – Entertaining film providing insight into Black culture and “woke” syndrome. Jeffrey Wright portrays Monk, a frustrated writer, and Sterling K. Brown portrays his gay brother, Cliff. Both men are wonderful. Wright delivers a poignant performance and Brown exudes rebellious charm as their bond is tested and remains strong in spite of themselves. Based on the book Erasure by Percival Everett, the movie tells the story with honesty, humor and heartbreak. Mike and I both enjoyed the picture, despite the arbitrary ending. We are left to decide for ourselves how the circumstances resolve. Mike loves that. Me….not so much. Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.
