American Fiction

Where: In theatres
What: Movie, 117 mins.
When: Now
Genre: Dramady
Rating: NNNN (out of 5)
Why you should watch: A comic look at well-intentioned white wokeness as a struggling author, told his new work isn’t “Black enough,” pens a cliche-riddled “urban” novel as a prank only to see it become a bestseller. One of the year’s best films. Read the full review.
