117 mins - United States 2023 - Cord Jefferson Starring: Jeffrey Wright, Tracee Ellis Ross and John Ortiz In this hilarious satire of the literary world, Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who's fed up with the establishment that profits from Black entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, he uses a pen name to write an outlandish Black book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain. “A funny, heartwarming tale that holds a mirror up to its viewers – a well deserved best picture contender.” London Evening Standard
