Winner of the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, American Fiction is sharp, smart, and hilarious. Jeffrey Wright plays a frustrated novelist who jokingly writes an outlandishly "Black" stereotypical book to expose the publishing industry’s hypocrisy—only for it to become a massive hit. It is a rare movie that is both laugh-out-loud funny and heartbreakingly sincere.

This British indie was the breakout hit of Cannes, and it is a raw, essential watch. It follows three teenage girls on a rite-of-passage summer holiday. But rather than a raunchy comedy, it is a painfully real exploration of consent, peer pressure, and the gap between expectation and reality. Go in blind; it will stick with you for days.
