BEST PICTURE
American Fiction

Based on the 2001 novel Erasure by Percival Everett, the film follows a frustrated novelist-professor who writes an outlandishly stereotypical "black" book as satire, only for the book to be published to high sales and praise.
Seems to have a 93% RT critical consensus and a 96% audience score.

Kind of sounds like Spike Lee’s Bamboozled based on the description.

Might have only been advertised in theaters. I liked it. It may not have a wide audience because people won't know what they are supposed to think about it.
Jeffrey Wright was very good in it. He's pretty reliable.

The satire hits very hard at the bigotry of low expectations of wealthy liberal whites and the opportunism of some blacks making material to take advantage of that market. It was written in 2001 but is more relevant today post Ibram X. Kendi.

American Fiction is very clever and well-written. Wright, as always, is outstanding.
The title of his fake book is “My Pafology”. I laughed out loud.
