“A sharp satire that both draws real blood and is very, very funny.” Broad Street Review
“It’s a pleasure to be in the company of American Fiction as it mulls over these big ideas with agreeably pointed humor and weary huffs of insight. With this film, Jefferson announces himself as a director to watch.” Vanity Fair
