“American Fiction” -  (R; 1 hour, 57 minutes) - Cord Jefferson’s hilarious directorial debut, which confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk 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. Nominated for 5 Academy Awards, Critic’s Choice Award winner, and a Golden Globe nominee. Final showtime Thursday, Feb. 15 at 2 p.m. .
