American Fiction 2023
Without the excellent performance from Jeffery Wright, and his ability to be the comedic, dramatic, and narrative heart of American Fiction, this film wouldn't have been nearly as compelling.

The cinematography was perfect, the flying shots near the end of the film with the soaring music were amazing, and the score, though fairly subtle, did a wonderful job…
