Cord Jefferson's satire film American Fiction is gaining critical acclaim and is now in theaters, set to expand to more cities soon.
The new trailer highlights the familial side of the comedy, with Jeffrey Wright's character navigating a rough patch and finding success by capitalizing on offensive stereotypes.
Family is a central theme in the film, with loved ones supporting the protagonist as he becomes a best-selling author, even if it means embracing a fake persona.
